Is there a downloading tool that supports Windows Shared files and works from command line?
Standard copy is getting hanged with no action on my side.
Tried wget but seems it doesn't 'eat' the link.

The command xcopy is what you are looking for. Example:
xcopy source destination /E /C /H /R /K /O /Y
The command above will copy source to destination, files and directories (including empty ones), will not stop on error, will copy hidden and system files, will overwrite read only files, will preserve attributes and ownership/ACL information, and will suppress the prompting for overwrite existing destination files.
/E Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones.
Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T.
/C Continues copying even if errors occur.
/H Copies hidden and system files also.
/R Overwrites read-only files.
/K Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will reset read-only attributes.
/O Copies file ownership and ACL information.
/Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
existing destination file.
For more info type xcopy /? and your command line.

Robocopy is the way to go. Download here:

/? flag will give you all the options. I've used it for migrating data to new hardware, and it works great.
Edit to add:
Found my ticket with the syntax
robocopy E:\Files F:\Files /e /copyall
/e = copies empty directories /copyall = copies all NTFS data, attributes, timestamps, ACLs, owner, & auditing info
