Yes, the conda recipe for boost on windows currently simply performs a
repackaging of the official boost binary distribution, so it should work in
almost all cases.

This is probably expected, during the build process boost is installed
together with the other build-time dependencies into a temporary
environment which is automatically created by conda. A message saying that
some packages are being downloaded is most likely to refer to packages that
are not already available from the local conda cache. These packages are
most usually downloaded from a remote distribution channel, but the list
may also include packages that are copied from the local build directory
(which I think was probably the case for boost).

And this is quite unexpected, but also difficult to interpret with the
provided amount of information.. Could you please send a copy of the actual
cmake command line that was issued, and/or the CMakeCache.txt file that
should have been created inside the top-level RDKit source distribution
directory at <path to your anaconda installation>\conda-bld\work?
Finally, I don't know if it may be of help, but some windows 64-bit
packages for the latest RDKit release should now be also available from the
binstar rdkit channel (in order to fetch them, you would just need to add
'-c rdkit' to the conda create/install/update command line. The build for
these packages passed all tests but the two related to the avalon tools).
Best,
Riccardo
