if i use

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin

then i'm able to use wget commands

for example:

wget http://www.ultralightnews.com/trikes/images/trikes/dfs-singletrike.jpg

but i can't find the file back, i looked in c:\ and in the bin folder mentioned above and in GnuWin32\etc

If i try

wget -O C:\Users\clankill3r\Downloads\wgetfolder wget http://www.ultralightnews.com/trikes/images/trikes/dfs-singletrike.jpg

then it says Permision denied, i did allow all permisions possible for every group / user.

Some people say it downloads to the current folder your working in (that's why i looked in the bin). But i thought let's try to run the command from another folder so i used:

'cd C:\Users\clankill3r\Downloads\wgetfolderand then the wget comman but then it says thewget` command is not recognized.

can someone help?
