All my software downloading is done using .cmd files.
I have a set of .cmd's I use for each download:

AUDIT.CMD
CHECK.CMD
DOCUMENT.CMD
DOWNLOAD.CMD
EXTRACT.CMD
FINDIT.CMD
GCOMPILE.CMD
INSTALL.CMD
MAKEPGM.CMD
MOVEPGM.CMD
OBJECTS.CMD
REMOVE.CMD
UNINSTALL.CMD

I wrote an article about these a few years ago for one
of the last issues of Extended Attributes from POSSI.

Here is my DOWNLOAD.CMD for WGET 1.9f1:

@echo off
call modewget (switches to mode 90,40)
if not exist wget19-f1-os2-bin-vac.d md wget19-f1-os2-bin-vac.d
cd wget19-f1-os2-bin-vac.d
set par=-c -acon -S -t5
set url=http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/internet/mirror/wget19-f1-os2-bin-vac.zip
wget %par% %url% 2>&1 | tee -a log.err
cd ..

This .cmd file is located in my

\OS2SKYE.SRC\wget.src\wget19-f1-os2-bin-vac.src\

directory.
