DOS build of WGET.EXE (Users)

Is there a newer DOS build of WGET.EXE ?

The newest one I can find is from way back in 2008.

If I remember right, 1.11b was the latest version that I found last December when I wrote the german translation. There was a version mismatch with an older version (NLS or readme.txt 1.0.8??) before. For security reasons have a look at
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/repositories/latest/net/

as I am out of home now.

cheers

there are some other version differences, actual label has version 1.5 and supports nls, you also find it at the repositories

tree has version 3.7.2 although it seems that it uses the same exe as 3.7 and only german nls is added whereas 3.7.1 seems to be an update from Jim Hall with missing NLS files... :-(

Even tho the ZIP is dated 2022-02-17,
the contained WGET.EXE is the same one I already have from 2008-04-20

The reason I'm looking for a newer DOS build is because the version from 2008
is not compatible with the current implementation of SSL resulting in...

OpenSSL: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure
Unable to establish SSL connection.

This old thread from 2020 is where I linked to a download of Wget 1.20.3.

Got it, tried it.

Result of... wget.exe https://youtube.com

So, what must be used for the seed file ?

wget.exe --random-file filename https://youtube.com

Youtube still works with the older version of wget.

I have tried everything I can think of to no avail.

Has anyone else had any success with wget.exe v1.20.3 ?
