Subject: Re: How?
Hi,
thanks for that link again, Fernando (I had misplaced my note on it:-)
And now I wonder if anyone has ported wget2 to Windows?
Thanks,
Gerd
The wget2 site has the older 2.0.1 wget with a windows exe file,
but I've been able to create the 2.1.0 version as well with info
using docker? Seems to support up to 10 threads, which the 2.0.1
version doesn't seem to.
https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/-/releases
Built the wget2 using the docker, and it creates a wget2.exe file.

7137339 Oct 16 16:37 wget2x.exe (compressed with upx).

Guys,
Been looking for a solution that can run on Win7 or higher for HTTPS
downloading. However, I don't understand the whole GNU thing, other than
it's
open source and generally free software.
I've looked at the software links and don't know what to do here.
HI Marv
You can find pre-built versions of wget for Windows on this Web site
32bit
https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/1.21.4/32/wget.exe
And 64 bit
https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/1.21.4/64/wget.exe
You just download the exe required for your system.
How to tell if your Windows installation is 32bit or 64bit
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/32-bit-and-64-bit-windows-frequently-asked-questions-c6ca9541-8dce-4d48-0415-94a3faa2e13d
... then manually copy to a folder in your computer, and then place that
folder in your "path" (the path is a listing of folder locations that
Windows uses to look for exe files)
(I personally use c:\utils and place all command line utilities there).
---
From the command prompt:
MD C:\Utils
Copy %userprofile%\downloads\wget.exe c:\utils
---
Here is a tutorial on how to the add that folder you ju St created to the
system path
https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/
You can then run wget from the command prompt from any directory or folder
just by calling it with 'wget'
Eg to get a listing of all options available
wget - -help
Others will be able to guide you after that.
