I am trying to use the wget binary for windows, in order to download an entire website onto a USB drive. I tried to run the following wget command, but it just failed. I don't know why. I don't know how to read the following error message.

I got my wget from this website.
Could my version of wget have something to do with this?
GNU Wget 1.11.4

Edit:
I downloaded wget version GNU Wget 1.21.3 built on mingw32 and it worked!

CodePudding user response：
The problem is your version of wget do not support new versions of TLS. And the web site need TLS v1.1 or 1.2. As you found you need new version of wget
As you use Windows next time maybe will be wise to use Power Shell which have incorporated version of wget
