Downloading something from Windows CMD

[TubsAlwaysWins]

Is there a way to download something through the command line in a similar fassion to the wget apt-get command, but in windows? 

(IE if I have a file being hosted on 205.x.x.x how would I download it from the command prompt)

 

EDIT: I meant wget not apt-get

packages? don't think windows has such a thing

downloading stuff? curl

Might be able to pull curl off... will have to look into it

 

Edit: Meant WGET

If it's wget you want then Windows can do it.

Open up PowerShell and type in wget.

 

Please note that wget is an alias for Invoke-WebRequest though. So it's not actually wget but will serve the same purpose.

 

 

PowerShell also includes a WebClient class which you can use to download stuff with:

$client = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$client.DownloadFile("www.example.com/file.exe", "D:\TempFolder\Download\file.exe")
