What does WGET Do?
Once installed, the WGET command allows you to download files over the TCP/IP protocols: FTP, HTTP and HTTPS.
If you’re a Linux or Mac user, WGET is either already included in the package you’re running or it’s a trivial case of installing from whatever repository you prefer with a single command.
Unfortunately, it’s not quite that simple in Windows (although it’s still very easy!).
To run WGET you need to download, unzip and install manually.
Install WGET in Windows 10
Download the classic 32 bit version 1.14 here or, go to this Windows binaries collection at Eternally Bored here for the later versions and the faster 64 bit builds.
Here is the downloadable zip file for version 1.2 64 bit.
If you want to be able to run WGET from any directory inside the command terminal, you’ll need to learn about path variables in Windows to work out where to copy your new executable. If you follow these steps, you’ll be able to make WGET a command you can run from any directory in Command Prompt.
Run WGET from anywhere
Firstly, we need to determine where to copy WGET.exe.
After you’d downloaded wget.exe (or unpacked the associated distribution zip files) open a command terminal by typing “cmd” in the search menu:
We’re going to move wget.exe into a Windows directory that will allow WGET to be run from anywhere.
First, we need to find out which directory that should be. Type:
path
You should see something like this:
Thanks to the “Path” environment variable, we know that we need to copy wget.exe to the c:\Windows\System32 folder location.
Go ahead and copy WGET.exe to the System32 directory and restart your Command Prompt.
Restart command terminal and test WGET
If you want to test WGET is working properly, restart your terminal and type:
wget -h
If you’ve copied the file to the right place, you’ll see a help file appear with all of the available commands.
So, you should see something like this:
Now it’s time to get started.
Get started with WGET
Seeing that we’ll be working in Command Prompt, let’s create a download directory just for WGET downloads.
To create a directory, we’ll use the command md (“make directory”).
Change to the c:/ prompt and type:
md wgetdown
Then, change to your new directory and type “dir” to see the (blank) contents.
Now, you’re ready to do some downloading.
Example commands
Once you’ve got WGET installed and you’ve created a new directory, all you have to do is learn some of the finer points of WGET arguments to make sure you get what you need.
The Gnu.org WGET manual is a particularly useful resource for those inclined to really learn the details.
If you want some quick commands though, read on. I’ve listed a set of instructions to WGET to recursively mirror your site, download all the images, CSS and JavaScript, localise all of the URLs (so the site works on your local machine), and save all the pages as a .html file.
To mirror your site execute this command:
wget -r https://www.yoursite.com
To mirror the site and localise all of the urls:
wget --convert-links -r https://www.yoursite.com
To make a full offline mirror of a site:
wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent https://www.yoursite.com
To mirror the site and save the files as .html:
wget --html-extension -r https://www.yoursite.com
To download all jpg images from a site:
wget -A "*.jpg" -r https://www.yoursite.com
For more filetype-specific operations, check out this useful thread on Stack.
Set a different user agent:
Some web servers are set up to deny WGET’s default user agent – for obvious, bandwidth saving reasons. You could try changing your user agent to get round this. For example, by pretending to be Googlebot:
wget --user-agent="Googlebot/2.1 (+https://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)" -r https://www.yoursite.com
Wget “spider” mode:
Wget can fetch pages without saving them which can be a useful feature in case you’re looking for broken links on a website. Remember to enable recursive mode, which allows wget to scan through the document and look for links to traverse.
wget --spider -r https://www.yoursite.com
You can also save this to a log file by adding this option:
wget --spider -r https://www.yoursite.com -o wget.log
Enjoy using this powerful tool, and I hope you’ve enjoyed my tutorial. Comments welcome!
What is wget?
Wget is a free GNU command-line utility tool used to download files from the internet. It retrieves files using HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols.
It serves as a tool to sustain unstable and slow network connections. If a network problem occurs during a download, this helpful software can resume retrieving the files without starting from scratch.
Another important aspect is its capability of recursive downloads, with which it mirrors websites. It transfers parts of a website by following links and directory structure, thus creating local versions of webpages.
The wget command is also highly flexible and can be used in terminals, scripts, and cron jobs. During the download, the user does not have to be active nor logged in. As wget is non-interactive, it can independently run in the background.
Read this article to learn how to use some of the most common wget commands.
How to Check if wget is Installed?
Most likely, the wget package is already on your system as it now comes pre-installed on most Linux distributions.
To check, open the terminal window and type in:
wget
If you have the wget software, the output tells you that the wget command is missing a URL, as shown in the image below:
wget Command Not Found
If the output displays wget command not found you need to download and install the tool manually. Below you will find the installation instructions for Ubuntu/Debian, CentOS, and Windows.
How to Install wget on Ubuntu/Debian?
To install wget on Ubuntu or Debian releases, use the command:
sudo apt-get install wget
How to Install wget on CentOS/Fedora?
To install wget on CentOS or Fedora, type the following command:
sudo yum install wget
How to Install wget on Windows?
To install and configure wget for Windows:
- Download wget for Windows and install the package.
- Add the wget bin path to environment variables (optional). Configuring this removes the need for full paths, and makes it a lot easier to run wget from the command prompt:
- Open the Start menu and search for “environment.”
- Select Edit the system environment variables.
- Select the Advanced tab and click the Environment Variables button.
- Select the Path variable under System Variables.
- Click Edit.
- In the Variable value field add the path to the wget bin directory preceded by a semicolon (;). If installed in the default path, add
C:Program Files (x86)GnuWin32bin.
- Open the command prompt (cmd.exe) and start running
wgetcommands.
Introduction to wget Syntax
The wget syntax has the following pattern:
wget [option][URL]
Each [option] has its long and short form which are conveniently interchangeable. This attribute specifies what to do with the URL that follows.
[URL] is the address of the file or directory you wish to download.
wget Command Examples
Download File from Web
To download a file from the web use:
wget [URL]
For example, to install Tomcat 9, first you need to download the package with wget using the command:
wget http://apache.cs.utah.edu/tomcat/tomcat-9/v9.0.20/bin/apache-tomcat-9.0.20.tar.gz
Download File and Save Under Specific Name
To download a file and save it under a specified name run:
wget -O [file_name] [URL]
The wget command allows you to rename files prior to downloading them on your computer.
For instance, you may want to install Terraform. To download the package and rename it terraform.zip use the following command:
wget -O terraform.zip https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.12.2/terraform_0.12.2_linux_amd64.zip
Download File to Specific Directory
By default wget downloads a file in the directory the user is in. To save the file in a different location, add the -P option:
wget -P [wanted_directory] [URL]
For example, while installing Git on Ubuntu, you can download the package in the /temp directory with the command:
wget -P /temp https://github.com/git/git/archive/master.zip
Set Download Speed
You can set the download speed when downloading a big file, so it does not use the full available bandwidth. The download speed is defined in kilobytes (k) and megabytes (m). Use the command:
wget --limit-rate [wanted_speed] [URL]
For example, if you are installing NVIDIA TESLA drivers on Linux and want to limit the download speed to 1 megabyte, would use the command:
wget --limit-rate 1m http://us.download.nvidia.com/tesla/396.37/nvidia-diag-driver-local-repo-ubuntu1710-396.37_1.0-1_amd64.deb
Continue Download After Interruption
Instead of having to start from scratch, wget can resume downloading where it stopped before the interruption. This is a useful feature if there is a lost of connection while downloading a file.
wget -c [URL]
For instance, you may want to install a Mumble Server on Linux and suddenly lose internet connection while downloading the installation file. To continue downloading, type in the command:
wget -c https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/releases/download/1.2.19/murmur-static_x86-1.2.19.tar.bz2
Download Multiple Files
wget allows downloading multiple files at the same time using the command:
wget -i [file_name]
To do so, follow the steps outlined below:
1. First, create and open a file under the name MultipleDownloads.txt (or a name of your choice), using a text editor. In this case, we used Nano:
nano MultipleDownloads.txt
2. Once in the editor, add the URLs of the packages you want to download, one per line.
3. Save and exit the file.
4. Run the following wget command in the terminal window:
wget -i MultipleDownloads.txt
This prompts wget to download from each URL in the text file.
Download Web page (Mirror Web page)
With wget you can download an entire website from the internet, using the -m option. It prompts wget to create a mirror of the specified webpage. The basic command for doing so is:
wget -m [URL]
For example:
wget -m <a href="https://phoenixnap.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://phoenixnap.com</a>
Download via FTP
To download via FTP, type in the username and password of the FTP server, followed by the ftp address:
wget --ftp-user=[ftp_username] --ftp-password=[ftp_password] ftp://...
For instance:
wget --ftp-user=sofiftp --ftp-password=TopSecretPassword ftp://123.456.7890
Download in Background
You can download in the background, a practical feature when dealing with a large file:
wget -b [URL]
You can check the status of the download with the command:
tail -f wget -log
To download the RPM package manager in the background, type:
wget -b http://some_website/sample_file.rpm
Increase Retry Attempts
You can set how many times wget attempts to download a file after being interrupted by a bad network with:
wget --tries=[number_of_tries] [URL]
By default, the number of retry attempts is set to 20.
You can also set the number to infinity with the values 0 or inf, as in the following example:
wget --tries=inf http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/rhel/virtualbox.repo
Skip Certificate Check
By default, wget checks whether the server has a valid SSL/TLS certificate. If it does not identify an authentic certificate, it refuses to download.
The --no-check-certificate option is used to avoid certificate authorities checking for a server certificate. However, utilize it only if you are sure of the website’s credibility or are not worried about security issues it may cause.
wget --no-check-certificate [URL]
If http://enteratonerisk.com has an untrusted certificate, but will not harm the system, you can download it with:
wget --no-check-certificate http://enteratonerisk.com
Change User Agent
When downloading a webpage, wget essentially emulates a browser. In some cases, the output might say you don’t have permission to access the server, or that the connection is forbidden. This may be due to a website blocking client browsers that have a specific “User-Agent.”
“User-Agent” is a header field that the browser sends to the server it wants to access. Therefore, to download from a server that is refusing to connect, try to modify the user agent.
Find a database of all user agents online, search for the one you need and run the command:
wget --user-agent="User Agent Here" "[URL]"
or
wget -U "User Agent Here" "[URL]"
For example, to emulate Chrome (version 74), you would change the user agent with the command:
wget --user-agent=" Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.169 Safari/537.36" "https://phoenixnap.com"
Note: Make sure you always download from a trusted source because wget can instruct a download of a script from a malicious source. We outline this and many other dangerous commands in our article 14 Dangerous Linux Terminal Commands.
Conclusion
This article sums up why wget is such a powerful tool for downloading files over the internet. It also serves as a good reference for beginners with its list of 12 essential wget commands and examples.

GNU Wget — консольная программа для загрузки файлов по сети. Поддерживает протоколы HTTP, FTP и HTTPS, а также работу через HTTP прокси-сервер. Программа включена почти во все дистрибутивы Linux. Утилита разрабатывалась для медленных соединений, поэтому она поддерживает докачку файлов при обрыве соединения.
Для работы с Wget под Windows, переходим по ссылке и скачиваем файл wget.exe. Создаем директорию C:\Program Files\Wget-Win64 и размещаем в ней скачанный файл. Для удобства работы добавляем в переменную окружения PATH путь до исполняемого файла.
Давайте попробуем что-нибудь скачать, скажем дистрибутив Apache под Windows:
> wget https://home.apache.org/~steffenal/VC15/binaries/httpd-2.4.35-win64-VC15.zip --2018-09-14 10:34:09-- https://home.apache.org/~steffenal/VC15/binaries/httpd-2.4.35-win64-VC15.zip Resolving home.apache.org (home.apache.org)... 163.172.16.173 Connecting to home.apache.org (home.apache.org)|163.172.16.173|:443... connected.

Wget is a command line tool for downloading files from the internet. It supports downloading using well known protocols such as FTP, HTTP and HTTPS. It employs the powerful OpenSSL library to establish encrypted connections to HTTPS servers. It supports recursive downloads from both HTTP and FTP sites. It can continue unfinished downloads from the last position. If the remote server is password protected, then it also supports logging in to the remote server using a username and a password.
It is easy to install Wget on a Windows PC through Chocolatey. Here is how:
- First of all you have to install Chocolatey on your PC. Basically this requires running a PowerShell command as explained on https://chocolatey.org/install.
- Once Chocolatey has been installed, you can open an elevated PowerShell or cmd.exe Command Prompt and give the following command : choco install wget -y
- Chocolatey will download and finish installation in seconds. Then you can start using Wget from anywhere on your PC.
Using Wget is the easiest thing in the world. If you download a file from the internet, you can open a command prompt or PowerShell and give the command wget [URL]. For example, if you want to download 7-Zip for Windows 64-bit, then you can give the command wget https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z2106-x64.exe. It will download the file and place in the current directory.
If you want to save the file with a different name, then you have to use the -O parameter followed by the file name. For example, wget -O 7-zip-x64.exe https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z2106-x64.exe. This will save the 7-Zip installer for Windows as the local file 7-zip-x64.exe.
Wget can also be used to download multiple files in just one command. For this, you have to create an input plain text file and copy all the links in that file. Ideally, there should be one link per line. Then you can give the command wget -i input-file.txt and it will batch download all the files.
If you do not want to use Chocolatey for installing Wget on your Windows PC, then you can download an older Wget binary from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm. But this is very old version and does not download files using today’s HTTPS and FTPS protocols.
