Problem

How can I download something from the web directly without Internet Explorer or Firefox opening Acrobat Reader/Quicktime/MS Word/whatever? I'm using Windows, so a Windows version of Wget would do.

Fix for: How to download files from command line in Windows like wget or curl

Low Risk

An alternative I discovered recently, using PowerShell: It works as well with GET queries. If you need to specify credentials to download the file, add the following line in between: A standard windows credentials prompt will pop up. The credentials you enter there will be used to download the file. You only need to do this once for all the time you will be using the $client object.
