See http://superuser.com/a/284147 for more information.

Open cmd.exe and use this format:

bitsadmin /transfer debjob /download /priority normal http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/iso-hybrid/debian-live-8.7.1-i386-xfce-desktop.iso D:\Users\[Username]\Downloads\debian-live-8.7.1-i386-xfce-desktop.iso

You should get something like this:

debjob

You can view the current download rate and file size. When the download is complete see your Downloads folder for the file.
