Re: [Bug-wget] GNU wget 1.13.4 released

[Fred Holmes]

I'm not a programmer, but have enjoyed _using_ wget for many years.  The latest 
Windows binary that I find posted is 1.11.4 of several years ago.  Would 
someone please post a current one?  (One of the links to Windows binaries 
yields a 404 error.)

Alternatively, would someone please post [a link to, or put it in the 
documentation] a recipe (manual script) for a non-programmer to compile a 
Windows binary for himself using a readily-available, inexpensive (free?) 
compiler?

I have done some Visual Basic and VBA programming  and am familiar with the VB 
IDE and VBA used for Microsoft Office macros.

Many thanks,

Fred Holmes
