Equivalent of wget command line for windows 8.1

I'm using git bash as my command line interface in my working environment.

Is there a wget command available for windows 8.1?

Windows 8.1 PowerShell has both the wget and the curl commands.

The both perform identically as if they are synonyms for each other.

Example - to retrieve http://www.sdsolarblog.com/montage/show.html

PS C:/users/Admin> curl http://www.sdsolarblog.com/montage/show.html

or

PS C:/users/Admin> wget http://www.sdsolarblog.com/montage/show.html

Here is what it looks like in practice:

To download the entire raw file you want to add the -outfile option like so:

PS C:/users/Admin> curl http://www.sdsolarblog.com/montage/show.html -outfile show.html

You can directly download wget for windows
1) Download wget for windows from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm or https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/
2) Download install cygwin from cygwin.com and install the wget package
3) Get similar tools like curl for windows from curl.haxx.se
