Question

When trying to use the command line on Windows to wget a file, I'm getting a 404 error

C:\Users\xxxx>wget + http://www.restaurantanzu.com/PDFs/Dinner908.pdf;

Answer 1

Why is the + right after the wget command? Looks like wget is trying to resolve/pull that as a URL based on the end, the "http://+/"

Try it without the +. In fact, try it with just:

wget http://www.restaurantanzu.com/PDFs/Dinner908.pdf

This works for me on a linux box.

Answer 2

Drop the + (as mentioned by @baraboom) and also drop the semi-colon at the end of the line.
