I'll usually just use firefox (chromium, whatever) and/or torrent to download ISO files.  But, yeah, wget should work also.

(But then, if I'm on Windows at work wget won't work well anyway (proxy issues, usually), and if I'm behind our corporate firewall running Linux I often have issues with wget, so end up with a browser because I'm tired of trying to work around the proxy)
