Is there a way to download a file using CMD, VBS, or Powershell from a url

Question

I need a small script to download some programs. The URL's never change but the files do. Like when you download malwarebytes.

Example: "https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbam_current/"

The address doesnt change but the file name downloaded does. Every script i see, requires that you specify a file name. I dont want to do that, I want the script to pull the filename from the sites header which would include the version name of that file in that filename. I cant seem to find any way of doing this. Please help me o wonderful smart people.

It needs to work on any version of Windows 7 and up.

Found something, this works !!!!!

import-module bitstransfer
$url="http://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbam_current/"

Function Get-RedirectedUrl {

    Param (
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
        [String]$URL
    )

    $request = [System.Net.WebRequest]::Create($url)
    $request.AllowAutoRedirect=$false
    $response=$request.GetResponse()

    If ($response.StatusCode -eq "Found")
    {
        $response.GetResponseHeader("Location")
    }
}

$FileName = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileName((Get-RedirectedUrl "http://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbam_current/"))

start-bitstransfer -source $url -Destination $FileName
