Without using any non-standard (Windows included) utilities, is it possible to download using the Windows command line?
The preferred version is Windows XP, but it's also interesting to know for newer versions.
To further clarify my question:
- It has to be using HTTP
- The file needs to be saved
- Standard clean Windows install, no extra tools
So basically, since everybody is screaming Wget, I want simple Wget functionality, without using Wget.
