I don't think Windows has this by default. You may have to install it manually from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm or elsewhere. And make any required changes to the corresponding line (the third from last) in the code.<br /><br />It works flawlessly on my linux. I've downloaded 6GB of 1280x800 wallpapers at my workplace. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />Vikasvikasreddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472129924494340179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041297919165799961.post-28394786975328465122012-04-18T07:10:51.000+05:302012-04-18T07:10:51.000+05:30I am using your script on Windows and I've dow...I am using your script on Windows and I've downloaded and installed the<br />required packages but on running the script I get the following message :<br /><br />The syntax of the command is incorrect<br /><br />Please help...<br />Thanks.The Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186274720180853632noreply@blogger.com
