I've been running wget 1.11.4 just fine.  Windows binary.

I downloaded wget 1.13.4 from:

http://code.google.com/p/osspack32/downloads/detail?name=wget.exe&can=2&q= 

which link I found on Google.

It doesn't work.  It seems to flash some error message too quickly to read and 
exits.

I presume I need a newer version of the ssl libaries??  The 1.13.4 manual (html 
file) doesn't seem to mention them explicitly, nor does the download site cited 
above.

Explicitly, what libraries do I need to run wget 1.13.4?

I did not remove my working wget 1.11.4 wget.exe file.  I named the new wget as 
wget1134.exe and ran it that way.  That should work.

System is Windows 2000.  Does wget 1.13.4 require a later system?

Many thanks,
