Is wget a default in Windows, if not what download function is available by default

Question

I made many changes to my machine so not sure if wget is available as a result of my changes or it always exists by default on Windows machines. Does it come with Windows

If not, what download function can I use in a Windows .bat script to download a file from the web. This function has to be available by default

Answer 1

Wget is not built into windows, however there is a windows version.

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm

As far as I am aware, there is no similar built in dos command for windows.

Answer 2

wget does not come with windows. In the past I've usually downloaded it from here.
