Batch script to download many files via http?

Question

I have a list of urls (over 100) of patch files from various sources that I need to download.

I need to create a batch script that will download these files and dump them all into the same directory.

I do not have administrative privileges on the system I need to download to, so it needs to be batch or similer solution.

I would love it if it would echo any errors to the screen and keep rolling on to the next download.

You've specified the end goal, but you didn't really specify what part you need help with. Are you just looking for someone to write it for you? — Safado, Jun 30 '11 at 17:34
Oh, sorry! When I first read it I was thinking "bash" scripting. I'm a noob at batch scripting and wouldn't be of much help. My bad. — Safado, Jun 30 '11 at 17:42

HTTrack can be run just as a EXE.

It does a great job, and can do everything your looking for.

This worked, but sadly not on the network I was trying to do it from as the proxy caused issues. – MathewC Jul 03 '11 at 02:03

WGET or CURL are good choices for this task. Using CURL to pick up the latest copy of Httrack through your proxy:

curl -x myproxy:8081 -u robw:mysecretpassword --proxy-ntlm http://download.httrack.com/cserv.php3?File=httrack.exe

Does curl work on windows? – a06e Aug 05 '15 at 20:13
Yes - there has been a win32 port available for years. See: http://curl.haxx.se/ for a version. – RobW Aug 05 '15 at 22:58
