Thanks so much. This still works on 10.4, whereas the newer one doesn’t.

Thanks very much for offering wget, why it is not included by default is a mystery!

Thanks

I use 10.4.11 and following terminal commands worked for me without recompiling or configuring.

Placed unpacked folder in homefolder

cd wget
sudo su root (enter password)
mv wget.1 /usr/share/man/man1
mv wgetrc /usr/local/etc
mv wget /opt/local/bin/wget
