But did you know that you can also download a file with PowerShell? You can use PowerShell to download single or multiple files from the internet. There are a couple of methods when it comes to downloading files with PowerShell. We can download files from any URL with PowerShell, local network shares, and from behind credential protected websites. In this article, we are going to start with the most straightforward method to download a single file and we are also going to take a look at other faster methods to download a file with PowerShell.
For this, we will be using the Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet. To download a file we need to know the source URL and give up a destination for the file that we want to download. The parameter -OutFile is required. With the Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet, we can provide the credentials that are needed for downloading the files.
If you are creating a script that will need to run automatically, then you will need to store the credentials in the script itself. I recommend creating a secure string password and store it in a text file on the computer that is running the script.
This cmdlet allows you to queue files, set priority useful for bandwidth limitation , can run in the background and download multiple files asynchronous. This is the most basic method of downloading a file with BitsTransfer, you only need a source and destination.

There were some cool prizes and winners were recognized from around the world. Communication with participants was maintained via Twitter , Facebook , and a special forum. The special forum has been taken down, but we still use Twitter and Facebook to communicate with Hey, Scripting Guy!
We will be focusing on solutions that used Windows PowerShell. For the Summer Scripting Games Event 5 , you were tasked with reading and writing to the registry. Bruno Leonardo submitted a nice script that uses the Windows PowerShell Registry provider to add the required values to the registry. The first thing Bruno does is create a command-line parameter to allow you to specify the number of concurrent connections when you run the script.
This is seen here. When you run the script, if you supply a number on the command line, that number will be used for the maximum number of connections.
There are several ways the script could be called.
