WGET for Windows5 I+ h( d. l4 O
& Q. A% L, j5 IEasily mirror http/ftp sites to your local hard drive( S- V& f- g: A
& F' c, u5 |4 a4 WI searched for some time for a utility that would let me mirror a remote http site to my hard drive with Windows 95. While there are several utilities to do this, I couldn't find any that I liked. Specifically, I wanted to be able to do it from the command line so that I could call it from a script, and I wanted duplicate files on my local drive for subsequent processing by another application. When I found wget for the unix environment, I decided to port it to Windows.0 L9 G0 u) H& s/ B

4 B. e4 P1 e, k8 z; J7 TThe most recent version I compiled is wgetwin-1_5_3_1-binary.zip. Version 1.5.3 of wget compiles cleanly for windows. To compile it yourself, you will also need to get wget-1.5.3.tar.gz. This 1.5.3.1 includes some additional changes to allow downloading of URLs that have '?' or '*' in their name. This compile was created on July 1, 1999.
