How to download from the command prompt?
I've seen several videos, but I don't want to download that one of Wget. Is there no other way?

There are several ways to solve.
If you want something similar to *nix systems, there is wget for windows:
Http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm
For those who are used to it, it has no secret.
wget http://endereço.do/arquivo/para.baixar
If you want to use native Windows resources, you will find in PowerShell. A simple example:
Invoke-WebRequest http://endereço.do/arquivo/para.baixar -OutFile c:\foo.file
Note that inside PowerShell there are aliases, as an example, wget is an alias for Invoke-WebRequest.
The above command line can be written as follows
wget http://endereço.do/arquivo/para.baixar -OutFile c:\foo.file
Just be aware that the alias has nothing to do with wget, popular on linux platforms.
Still in PowerShell, another way to download:
(new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile( "http://endereço.do/arquivo/para.baixar", "c:\foo.file")
It seems that in the link of the superuser there are some answers, which are not directly by the CMD.
So, I'll give my suggestion:
PHP
PHP can also be used on the command line. We can then read a file through readfile and save it to a file on your computer.
See:
> php -r "readfile('http://url_do_download');" > nome_do_arquivo_baixado.ext
CURL
Another Way would be through bash, which is always installed on Windows when you install git.
Hence you could use curl as follows:
> curl http://url_do_download > nome_do_arquivo.ext
Note : I don't know if there is another way to install bash on Windows.
