In the distribution archive should be a sample.wgetrc file in the docs
subdirectory.  Copy this as .wgetrc to the directory pointed to by the
SET HOME= variable in config.sys (if you don't have it, go ahead and add
it, as it comes in handy for other programs ported from *nix; mine,
e.g., is f:/home), then add the following to it:

dir_prefix = d:/down

The sample.wgetrc file is heavily commented if you need info on
addtitional switches, and it is also documented in the
wget-1.5.3.{html,text} files included in the docs subdirectory.
