Answer 2

Or, if you want to download all the instances of a particular type of file from a site, once it is installed. Let's say you want all the PDFs from a particular web directory.

wget -r -A .pdf https://www.example.com

Also, you can use the Windows Subsystem for Linux. Install it from the Apps control panel and install a distro. I have both Ubuntu an Kali right now. You can navigate to whatever directory you want your files to reside in and run the wget command there.
