Keep present wget is a command line application - doubleclick on wget.exe won't accomplish anything. Opening a command prompt and running wget is a bit better, you'll get this output:
wget: missing URL Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]... Try `wget --help' for more options. Here http://xoomer.virgilio.it/hherold/index.html#Howto is a basic minimal starter howto. If you don't like command line programs maybe you'll prefer to use a wrapper like wgetgui http://www.jensroesner.de/wgetgui/ although I really don't use it and can't comment on it.
