Hi.
You could look for:
but more importantly, almost any *nix utility can be kept in your HOME structure, so you don't need to have permission to install code in the system. Other users might not be able to use that code, but that doesn't sound like the primary goal here. This all means that, provided you had the knowledge, you could keep your own copy of wget and other utilities in a directory under your HOME, and use them as you wish. For example, I have almost 50 such items in a directory I call executable. Perhaps a friend can help you with such a task. That way you are not limited by what the system administrators install or omit.
I should add that this can require a fair amount of work on your part, but the results provide a certain amount of independence.
Finally, alternatives to wget and curl might be a simple script in perl / python / tcl, etc., that can copy from a URL to a local file.
