    DOS and Windows are two *different* operating systems. In addition, DOS hasn't been used for the last 15 years or so. (Well, in some sense Windows 9x operating systems are DOS applications.) The command line interpreter `cmd.exe` that is found in Windows has nothing to do with the old DOS operating system! So, are you looking for a DOS application or a command-line (console) Windows application? – Andreas Rejbrand Jun 16 '11 at 12:02

    If you're looking for Windows command line (excellent point @Andreas), [cURL](http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html) may work for you. Look for the binary download not the source. – jonsca Jun 16 '11 at 12:05
  • @jonsca Thanks, actually I just found it myself :) –  Jun 16 '11 at 12:11
  • Please see this link http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/ , you can download the same wget exe and can be run on dos same as linux,... To retrieve with passwords (http or ftp), you can use the following url syntax: wget http://username:password@www.example.net/somedir/somefile wget ftp://username:password@ftp.example.net/somedir/somefile – Siraj Khan Apr 18 '14 at 08:56

However, if you would like an alternative, aria2 is very nice. Handles HTTP/S, FTP, Metalinks, BitTorrent, segmented downloads, preallocation, download resuming, reading cookies from Firefox/Chrome, can be daemonized and controlled via JSON-RPC/XML-RPC.

A GUI frontend is available in uGet.
