Next, create a folder on drive C, call the folder wget (example: c:\Program Files\wget), unpack the downloaded archive into our newly created folder

Now, with the key combination WIN + PAUSE BREAK, open the control panel, or open it like this – Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System

Here we write the path to the file, put a semicolon and the path, an example is below:

;c:\Program Files\wget\bin

Now we go to the windows folder -> system32 and drop the wget file itself there

Now let’s check for operability, launch the command line, press WIN + R, or START-execute, and write CMD in this field, write our WGET command, then press ENTER.

To download the entire site, you just need to specify its address with the minimum required set of options, for example.

wget -r -l 10 -k -p -t 5 https://site.com –no-check-certificate

-r, –recursive enable recursive download.
