Wget for Windows Quickstart

In previous videos I explained how to use iperf to measure throughput, latency and packet loss.

Many of you asked me how to perform similar tests with web or HTTP servers.

I always look for portable or command line tools since they are typically lightweight and I can have a certain degree of control.

The control comment to me a hug since I can create batch files, desktop shortcuts or integrate it with network tools that allow external commands.

Here’s the link to WGET: http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/
