If we're getting/pulling from a local repo, shouldn't we try to grab the tarballs from there too?
Yes, please! I have several GHC repos which all pull from a local mirror. Having to wget all tarballs for each of them would be too slow and too expensive in terms of monthly bandwidth allowance (we don't have flatrates here).
In general, I don't think requiring wget is a good idea. It is an additional hurdle to beginners (which can be rather annoying on some systems like OS X) and an additional complication in an already complicated process for everyone else.
