−P prefix
−−directory−prefix=prefix
Set directory prefix to prefix. The directory prefix is the directory where all other files and subdirectories
will be saved to, i.e. the top of the retrieval tree. The default is . (the current directory).

Taken from the PDF, which comes with the docs from here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm

All other command-line arguments are in the pdf as well, so you should look into it.

@kufdo what is the need of -P prefix. if i use that it won' work. When i use −−directory−prefix alone it worked. – IT researcher Mar 25 '13 at 13:21
I think you should be able to write "-P c:/temp/download/" – kufudo Mar 25 '13 at 20:16
