i did paste the URL originally, maybe u missed it, anyway,
here it is again:
http://ftp.sunsite.dk/projects/wget/windows/wget-1.8.1b.zip

i also had specified the problem specifically, maybe u
missed that as well...
i will paste again what i said:

note the command that is called:
===============
$ /bin/wget http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/src/zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz
wget: missing URL
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try `wget --help' for more options.
================

but running the same binary (not a copy, the exact same binary)
by tagging /c/msys/ in front of the path will yield the correct
results as you can see:
======================
$ /c/msys/bin/wget http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/src/zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz
--18:45:49--  http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/src/zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz
          => `zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz.1'
