Hi, thanks for that link again, Fernando (I had misplaced my note on it:-)

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.
