The wget2 site has the older 2.0.1 wget with a windows exe file, 
but I've been able to create the 2.1.0 version as well with info 
using docker? Seems to support up to 10 threads, which the 2.0.1 
version doesn't seem to.

https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/-/releases

Built the wget2 using the docker, and it creates a wget2.exe file.

  7137339 Oct 16 16:37 wget2x.exe (compressed with upx).
