Actually I wasn't looking for this but this could be helpful for my new project about PHP on Windows. I want to use wget to download php from command line. But with get-url, I can do same thing on Powershell, I can use this :) Looks nice Brian. Actually I wasn’t looking for this but this could be helpful for my new project about PHP on Windows.

I actually used webclient before I started on this cmdlet. One thing I started noticing is large files would take an unknown amount of time. This was super annoying, since I didn't know if it was going fast or slow. So a side goal was to get the progress bar. Even if you don't want a cmdlet though, you can create the same logic in a simple function. Nothing in the cmdlet can't be done directly in Powershell. I haven't had a chance to check out CTP3, I need to put it on my list. Looks awesome. Ya. I actually used webclient before I started on this cmdlet.

Two things. Curious, you could download a file like below. You lose the progress bar though. Check out advanced functions http://tinyurl.com/92pzrf in CTP3. Has lots of the snapin capability but all in PowerShell script. $wc = New-Object net.webclient $wc.DownloadFile("http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nunit/NUnit-2.4.8-net-2.0.zip?download", "C:\NUnit-2.4.8-net-2.0.zip") Learning how to build snapins is great.
