Yep, this would make things much easier for applications like yours.

Right, Heiko is so kind to compile the SSL enabled wget binaries. If you need it without SSL, you would have to compile it yourself.

Unzip them to a sensible directory like c:\wget\ add a startupdate.bat file to the directory this file should read something like wget -x -i fetch_list.txt -B http://debian.linux.org.tw/debian/pool/main/ Now, pack everything into a zip again, preserving full folder info. (I always use Power Archiver 6.1, the last freeware version.) now create a self-extracting archive from it. Distribute the archive.exe to your "buddies" all they have to do is a) doubleclick on the archive b) browse to c:\wget\ with Windows explorer and c) doubleclick on startupdate.bat d) afterwards, do the CD writing Thinking about it, you could distribute wget with the SSL and startupdate.bat file unzipped on a 1.44MB floppy disk.
