wget for windows

For all you Windows users out there who need a program to download files quickly and easily, check out wget for windows. This is a port of a fantastic unix/linux command line program that supports HTTP and FTP with many advanced options, as well as download resuming, with the -c argument.
It's also included in the unxutils package I mentioned in the previous post.

For a little more fun, you can easily crash Windows and make it beep loudly by downloading a binary file to standard output like so:
wget -O - [http://binaryfileURL].
