Windows user here, and I seem to be having an issue with getting wget to 
actually save the file.  If I run 'c:\progra~1\gnuwin32\bin\wget.exe 
http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/clouds/clouds_4096.jpg' from a 
commandline it works, but if I try to add the option to save it 
somewhere it doesn't fly.  Something's off with the task scheduler, too, 
maybe...the task I made wasn't running.  Just tweaked the settings, 
maybe that'll work.
