GNU Wget is a free Command-line software for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS and FTP.

You can download Windows binaries of wget.exe from here:
wget.addictivecode.org/Frequentl ... s#download
@set url={dlgstrings|Input Url...|{clip}}
C:\wget\wget.exe -c --tries=3 "{$url}"
(You should set correct Wget.exe directory and you can hide wget main window by adding a line @runmode hide at the top.
Here is some wget options.
‘-q’ ‘--quiet’ Turn off Wget's output.
‘-i file’ ‘--input-file=file’ Read urls from a file.
‘-t number’ ‘--tries=number’ Set number of retries to number.
‘-O file’ ‘--output-document=file’ Set Output file name.
‘-c’ ‘--continue’ Continue getting a partially-downloaded file.
If you looking for Command-line based multi thread downloader...aria2 would be better choice. aria2.sourceforge.net/
It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent and Metalink.
(Admin note: wget.zip removed. Added link to Windows binaries above so that people can always get the latest version.)
