Easily mirror http/ftp sites to your local hard drive

I searched for some time for a utility that would let me mirror a remote http site to my hard drive with Windows 95. While there are several utilities to do this, I couldn't find any that I liked. Specifically, I wanted to be able to do it from the command line so that I could call it from a script, and I wanted duplicate files on my local drive for subsequent processing by another application. When I found wget for the unix environment, I decided to port it to Windows.

The unix version is available at ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/pub/infosystems/wget/.

To compile it yourself, you will also need to get wget-1.5.3.tar.gz. This 1.5.3.1 includes some additional changes to allow downloading of URLs that have '?' or '*' in their name. This compile was created on July 1, 1999.
