WGET for Windows (win32) - current version: 1.10.2
updated February 16 2007
Read below to download wget.exe and
for some help with wget.
GNU wget
From the
official wget homepage:
"GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using
HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, the most widely-used Internet protocols. It is a
non-interactive commandline tool, so it may easily be called from scripts,
cron jobs, terminals without Xsupport, etc."
While you can get Windows binaries from
Heiko Herold's page,
the binaries here are tweaked a bit so they operate somewhat better on Windows.
The following changes, compared to the official distribution, were
retained/added since 1.8.2:
wget.exe completely stand-alone.
Compressed with UPX 1.07 for smaller filesize
It seems the rfc1738 problems on Windows (see below) were fixed in wget 1.9,
so there is no longer a need to edit the source code.
Wget now supports Secure Socket Layer (SSL, https://...) among other things.
Most available binaries are dynamically linked against OpenSSL, and require you
to have a couple of dll's in your path. The binary on this site is statically
linked with OpenSSL (which makes it larger in size, but stand-alone).
Note the license addendum:
"In addition, as a special exception, the Free Software Foundation
gives permission to link the code of its release of Wget with the
OpenSSL project's "OpenSSL" library (or with modified versions of it
that use the same license as the "OpenSSL" library), and distribute
the linked executables. You must obey the GNU General Public License
in all respects for all of the code used other than "OpenSSL". If you
modify this file, you may extend this exception to your version of the
file, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do
so, delete this exception statement from your version."
Furthermore, compiling (statically) with OpenSSL is cumbersome in VC++.
If you were to try this yourself, necessary steps would include:
- Getting the OpenSSL source
and untarring it somewhere besides wget source. - Configuring for win32 - this involves Perl (e.g.
ActivePerl).
(ms\do_masm.batwill help) - Compiling static libraries (
ms\nt.mak, notms\ntdll.mak)... - ... however, after making sure you are compiling with the correct
multithreaded runtime libraries (/MT, not/MD) to match wget configuration. configure.bat --msvcin the wget tree.- Adding the
inc32\...to the wget include path, and both
libraries inout32to the wget link step. (editSSLLIBSandDEFSinsrc\Makefile)
Latest version is 1.10.2, compiled with MS Visual C++ and
linked with OpenSSL 0.9.7i. Page will be updated with new releases of wget.
Wget tends to see a couple of incremental bugfix releases (i.e. 1.10.x).
I am currently using wget 1.10.x on a daily basis.

wget-1.8.2win32-url.c-fix.zip (21919 bytes): source changes (url.c)
One of the major problems in 1.8.2 was with the
rfc1738 reserved and
unsafe character standard, which wget tried to adhere to, not just for
decoding URLs, but also for filenames on the local filesystem. Let's just say
this didn't go over too well with Windows users. Examples were conversion of
spaces to %20, which wouldn't be too bad, except for the fact that wget
insists that % is an illegal character on Windows (which it is not), and
converted all %s to @s (basically mangling filenames beyond repair). Another
worse example was the fact that wget is unaware that '?' is an illegal
character in Windows, hence it crashed on URLs with query strings.
Usage
wget is a command line program. You start it from the command prompt, either
command.com in Windows 9x/Me or cmd.exe in Windows 2000/XP. The command prompt
can be found in the Start Menu (Accessories).
wget.exe must be placed in your path (e.g. c:\windows)
To retrieve a file: wget http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/wget.exe

Basic options
Display all help: wget --help
Completely mirror a site: wget -mr http://...-m: mirror-r: recursive
Mirror without following links to other servers, parent directories:wget -mrnp http://...-np: no-parent
Retrieve a html file and convert relative links to absolute ones:wget -k http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget-k: 'k'onvert links
Resume partially downloaded files (if supported by the server):wget -c http://...-c: continue
Read url's from a file and retrieve them:wget -i file_with_urls.txt-i: input-file
Ask for url's (read from stdin):wget -i -. Enter url's on the command line, press enter after
each url, and terminate with ^Z (press CTRL-Z) on an empty line.
FTP
--glob=off
Don't treat (, *, ? etc. as globbing
characters. Use when transfering files with names that contain these
characters.
--passive-ftp
Use passive mode for data connection (try this if you're behind a firewall,
NAT box...)
Proxy
To make wget use a proxy, you must set up an environment variable before
using wget. Type this at the command prompt:
set http_proxy=http://proxy.myprovider.net:8080
...where you use the correct proxy hostname and port for your ISP or
network. You can use ftp_proxy to proxy ftp requests.
--proxy=on--proxy=off
Turn proxy usage on/off once variable is set.
