iwget2 - Wget2 for Windows

iwget2 is a packaging of wget2 and Cygwin to offer a standalone transfer tool for Windows systems.

Wget2 is an advanced, faster version of the well-known wget tool, designed to improve upon the functionality of the original while supporting modern web standards. Like wget, it’s a command-line utility that allows users to download files from the internet, retrieve web pages, and mirror entire websites, but it introduces a range of enhancements that make it better suited for today’s internet. Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of a DLL (cygwin1.dll), which emulates substantial Linux API functionality, and a collection of tools.
