I didn't have enough reps to answer this question, so posting here:
How to download files from command line in Windows like wget or curl
Original at:
How to download files from command line in Windows like wget or curl
- My answer:
There IS a Wget version for Windows.
To answer your question, to download a file from the web on CMD without the browser opening the associated app like Quicktime to the file can be saved instead, I type the URL after the 'start' command:
start https://url/001.ts
This should download the file. Some browsers are set to open downloaded file instead of just saving it. This can be changed in settings.
eg. http://www.planetpublish.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/The_Jungle_Book_T.pdf
will most likely open the book in the browser instead of just saving it to local drive. To stop this, the browser settings are to be changed.
To disable Chrome's PDF viewer:
Open Chrome and type "about:plugins" into the omnibox at the top.
Find Chrome PDF Viewer in the list and click the Disable link to prevent PDFs from loading within Chrome.
The above is to get web resources without downloading extra software (just with what's ordinarily shipped with the computer); in this case, CMD & IE.
Newer computers have Powershell, which can bypass IE.
On older computers, you may still get web resources using telnet to bypass IE eg.telnet google.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Worst case scenario would be to write your own program to download web resources.
Windows scripting would also help, to speed up batch/unattended processing.
As a last resort, you could download external software to do the job, but test it out in a sandbox first (if your reason for not using external software is malware/virus).
