PowerShell For DevOps - Download File Using PowerShell

In this video I have covered how to download files using Invoke WebRequest in PowerShell.

Script -
# Modify this script as per your requirement
# Source file location
$source = 'Enter your URL'

# Destination to save the file
$destination = 'C:\Users\user\Desktop\Downloads\file_name'

#Download the file
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $source -OutFile $destination

For those doing this, make sure you actually name the file you will download after your destination path.
Thank you for sharing.

Also, for those who are downloading large files, the actual progress bar seems to be the reason behind the extremely slow download speed. To fix that, you are going to need to disable it. Simply put $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue' before the Invoke-WebRequest command.
