On Cygwin, the most up-to-date version of wget that I can find is 1.19.1.
https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/wget.html
However, that version is lacking support for TLS 1.3, which was added in 1.19.5, to name just one example:
- Enable TLS1.3 with recent OpenSSL environment
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2018-05/msg00007.html
How can I get a more up-to-date version of wget? (I would prefer through Cygwin, since I use a script to automatically update my toolchain through Cygwin.)

1It does not appear that a pre-compiled version of 1.19.5 has been released. So you will have to compile it yourself. If it exists then it's not linked on the Cygwin website. I am sure the Cygwin developers would appreciate being notified their website only links to a version of wget from 2017. – Ramhound – 2019-12-12T10:56:15.167
@Ramhound: thanks for the suggestion. They are proposing a mailing list as their primary point of contact, though - as if they are trying to make it extra difficult to contact them... – bers – 2019-12-12T16:57:48.857
Why do you find difficult to use a mailing list ? If you ask there and explain your need the maintainer of wget will likely update the package – matzeri – 2019-12-12T19:50:36.627
