How do I download a file using windows command line without having to input a proxy password?

After looking at various stackoverflow questions, I found several ways to download a file from a command line without interaction from the user.

The only one that worked for me also works only on Windows 10 natively :

curl -sko %TEMP%\file.txt "https://some.hostname/file.txt"

But installing an external tool like wget/curl is what I want to avoid.

What didn't work for me because of proxy errors :

Command:

bitsadmin.exe /transfer "dljob" "https://some.hostname/file.txt" %TEMP%\file.txt

Error:

DISPLAY: 'dljob' TYPE: DOWNLOAD STATE: ERROR
PRIORITY: NORMAL FILES: 0 / 1 BYTES: 0 / UNKNOWN
Unable to complete transfer.

Command:

powershell -Command "(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://some.hostname/file.txt', '%TEMP%\file.txt')"

Error:

Refer to this question Access web using Powershell and Proxy

You can try something like that in Powershell and suppose that you have already created a folder named as C:\Test:

$url = "https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/1x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png"
$file = "C:\Test\" + $url.Split("/")[-1]
$wb = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$wb.Proxy.Credentials =[System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials
$wb.DownloadFile($url,$file)

I tried this on Windows Powershell ISE and it works 5/5 :

cls
$start_time = Get-Date
$url = "https://cdn2.unrealengine.com/Fortnite%2FBoogieDown_GIF-1f2be97208316867da7d3cf5217c2486da3c2fe6.gif"
$Folder = "$Env:Temp\DownloadFolder"

# We create a SubFolder Named "DownloadFolder" in the temporary file %Temp% if it doesn't exists yet !
If ((Test-Path -Path $Folder) -eq 0) { New-Item -Path $Folder -ItemType Directory | Out-Null }

# We can get the name of the file to be downloaded from the variable $url
# $url = "https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/1x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png"
# In our case the FileName will be = "googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png" or 
# Fortnite%2FBoogieDown_GIF-1f2be97208316867da7d3cf5217c2486da3c2fe6.gif
$file = $Folder+ "\" + $url.Split("/")[-1]

Try 
    {
      $wb = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
      $wb.Proxy.Credentials =[System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials
      $wb.DownloadFile($url,$file) 
      ii $Folder
      Write-Output "Running Script Time taken is : $((Get-Date).Subtract($start_time).Seconds) second(s)"
    }

Catch 
    {
      Write-Host "Error from $url" `n"Message: [$($_.Exception.Message)"] -ForegroundColor Red -BackgroundColor DarkBlue
    }
