Here's how to download a webpage.

Invoke-WebRequest

# get a website content, save it as xx.html
iwr "google.com" -outfile xx.html

curl

Windows 10 has curl builtin, at C:/Windows/system32/curl.exe

curl -h for help. 

# download a html page
curl -O http://example.org/xyz/cat.html
# download all jpg files named cat01.jpg to cat20.jpg
curl -O http://example.org/xyz/cat[01-20].jpg
# download all jpg files named cat1.jpg to cat20.jpg
curl -O http://example.org/xyz/cat[1-20].jpg
