I feel that wget or curl should be a Cygwin base package. I looked at these distros and they all come with one or both pre-installed.
Debian wget Arch wget curl Fedora curl openSUSE wget curl Puppy wget curl MSYS2 curl Including wget for example would require these packages wget 683,044 libgnutls28 397,328 libhogweed2 116,360 libidn11 38,004 libnettle4 83,768 1,318,504 Current base requires 22,862,970 of packages. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
