Is it possible to rim wget (via a system() call, per example), without having it overwrite data in my main program output? Like, in a thread? Or even better, several concomittent wget-s in separate threads?
How can I get the data that will be written to stdout normally? I need to run this wgets hidden, since the data will be reported in the main program (which will have a gui)
Is popen() / _popen() roughly what you want?

well, except that it spits all the cout data in my main program. I want that data accessible to my program, but not shown on my program's console.
Not if you do it right, I would think. But here's a different approach, assuming you are using Windows, rather than Linux:

you've got to be kidding me. all that code for spawning a process? :/
No, not kidding - that's an alternative to using _popen() - but maybe you want to give it another try first?
And why do you care how much code it is, if all you need to do is copy'n'paste it? It's pretty self-explanatory if you know how these things work in general.
