I've been pretty content with wget. Then came curl. Like wget, curl is also a tool that helps you retrieve files on the Internet. I've yet to learn more about this utility, but curl seems to be quite powerful and popular. So I decided to compile curl on my own.
First, compile zlib.
make -f win32/Makefile.gcc
cp -iv zconf.h zlib.h /mingw/include
cp -iv libz.a /mingw/lib
Next, compile OpenSSL.
./Configure -DHAVE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC -DPTW32_STATIC_LIB -L/mingw/lib -lz -lpthreadGC2 -lws2_32 --prefix=/mingw threads zlib mingw
make
make install
I downloaded the Curl source from curl.haxx.se, launched MSYS and compiled Curl with the following commands:
./configure --build=i686-pc-mingw32 --prefix=/mingw --disable-shared
make
make install
This produces a static executable curl.exe. Copy it to a folder in your PATH.
cp -iv src/curl.exe /C/Windows
The command “make install” will copy the following files into /mingw.

Integrating Curl into Git
Git didn't pick up the curl library so I had to manually specify curl dependencies with LIBS:
./configure --prefix=/mingw --without-tcltk LIBS='-lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32 -lws2_32 -lwldap32 -lz'
thx sir.
