# Windows Binaries of GNU Wget 1.21.4
This is a command-line tool that can be used to retrieve files via the HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols.
GNU Wget is a free software package that allows users to retrieve files through the most commonly used Internet protocols,
including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and FTPS. As a non-interactive command-line tool,
it can be easily integrated into scripts, cron jobs, and terminals.
This project was originally created by @webfolderio. Since the original repository appears to be getting reverted or removed, this repository serves as standalone backup for preservation.

### Build Environment
Wget has been built using GitHub Actions and cross-compiled with mingw64 on Ubuntu, using GNU/gcc 9.3.
It is completely safe to use and free from viruses.
All the necessary libraries have been **statically linked**, so there is no need to use any third-party DLL.
### Wget features
The Windows version of Wget includes all features of Wget except for NLS (the multi-language version).
GnuTLS version:
`+cares +digest +gpgme +https +ipv6 +iri +large-file +metalink -nls +ntlm +opie +psl +ssl/gnutls`
OpenSSL version:
`+cares +digest +gpgme +https +ipv6 +iri +large-file +metalink -nls +ntlm +opie +psl +ssl/openssl`
### Local Build
