    DOS and Windows are two different operating systems. In addition, DOS hasn't been used for the last 15 years or so. (Well, in some sense Windows 9x operating systems are DOS applications.) The command line interpreter cmd.exe that is found in Windows has nothing to do with the old DOS operating system! So, are you looking for a DOS application or a command-line (console) Windows application? – Andreas Rejbrand Jun 16 '11 at 12:02

    If you're looking for Windows command line (excellent point @Andreas), cURL may work for you. Look for the binary download not the source. – jonsca Jun 16 '11 at 12:05
  • @jonsca Thanks, actually I just found it myself :) –  Jun 16 '11 at 12:11
  • Please see this link http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/ , you can download the same wget exe and can be run on dos same as linux,... To retrieve with passwords (http or ftp), you can use the following url syntax:

    wget http://username:password@www.example.net/somedir/somefile wget ftp://username:password@ftp.example.net/somedir/somefile

However, if you would like an alternative, aria2 is very nice. Handles HTTP/S, FTP, Metalinks, BitTorrent, segmented downloads, preallocation, download resuming, reading cookies from Firefox/Chrome, can be daemonized and controlled via JSON-RPC/XML-RPC.

A GUI frontend is available in uGet.
