What I did was download the .zip's I wanted. A much smaller download.
Here's my work list:

Core files required by all versions
-----------------------------------

* core_all - Core binaries (All hosts)
* core_binp - Core binaries (OS/2 host)

* c_binp - C compiler (OS/2 host)

* clib_hdr - C runtime library header files
* clib_a16 - C runtime libraries (16-bit all targets)
* clib_o16 - C runtime libraries (16-bit OS/2)
clib_d16 - C runtime libraries (16-bit DOS)
* clib_a32 - C runtime libraries (32-bit all targets)
* clib_o32 - C runtime libraries (32-bit OS/2)
clib_d32 - C runtime libraries (32-bit DOS)

All C++ components require the C compiler & library ZIP's
---------------------------------------------------------

cpp_binp - C++ compiler (OS/2 host)

cpplib_hdr - C++ runtime library header files
cpplib_a16 - C++ runtime libraries (16-bit all targets)
cpplib_o16 - C++ runtime libraries (16-bit OS/2)
cpplib_a32 - C++ runtime libraries (32-bit all targets)
cpplib_o32 - C++ runtime libraries (32-bit OS/2)

* dbg_all - Debugger, profiler (All hosts)
* dbg_binp - Debugger, profiler (OS/2 host)

* ide_all - IDE, editor, browser (All hosts)
* ide_binp - IDE, editor, browser (OS/2 host)

samples - Sample code

Manifest for all help files
---------------------------

* core_hlp_os2 - Core help files (OS/2 host)

* c_hlp_os2 - C compiler & library help files (OS/2 host)

cpp_hlp_os2 - C++ compiler & library help files (OS/2 host)

* dbg_hlp_os2 - Debugger, profiler help files (OS/2 host)

* ide_hlp_os2 - IDE, editor, browser help files (OS/2 host)

All you need is the all host and os/2 host stuff for C. These happen to
be * for historical reasons. :-)

You need to use an FTP client that will resume download. :-) wget is a
fine choice.

I wouldn't bother with F77 unless you are going to use it. Just unzip the
files I've marked

Who me?

After you unzip the files, create a .cmd file like:

SET WATCOM=D:\WATCOM
SET TOOLKIT=D:\TOOLKIT
SET PATH=%WATCOM%\BINP;%WATCOM%\BINW;%PATH%
SET INCLUDE=%WATCOM%\H;%TOOLKIT%\H
SET EDPATH=%WATCOM%\EDDAT
SET HELP=%WATCOM%\BINP\HELP;%HELP%
SET BOOKSHELF=%WATCOM%\BINP\HELP;%BOOKSHELF%
SET BEGINLIBPATH=%WATCOM%\BINP\DLL
SET LIB=%TOOLKIT%\LIB;%WATCOM%\LIB386\OS2;%WATCOM%\LIB386;

To use Watcom, run this before running your app. Of course, you can
always update config.sys. I've got too many compilers to be able to too
that cleanly, so I've get similar files for each compiler other than VAC
3.08. This one is in config.sys because it got there first. :-)

If you want C++, unzip them too. This .cmd file should be OK for C++.

You might not like the .exe's. They require and WinXX installer.
