Note:  Since you have chosen to put it in a private folder you have to put 
that private folder in the PATH such that you can perform and implicit 
execution.  That's why I gave you instructions on how to add the folder to 
the path.  Otherwise you would have to perform an explicit execution of; 
C:\Progs\wget.exe

This would not have been the case if you had chosen a folder such as 
C:\windows [ %WINDIR% ] to save the files in which is already in the PATH.

You still need to aquaint yourself with how to use it and all its switch 
parameters and the WGETRC default settings file.

Executing;  wget --help
will display all the switch parameters.
Executing;  wget --help  >c:\wget_help.txt
will create the file c:\wget_help.txt  which will contain all that 
information.
