Do any ISPs still provide shell access? Anyhow, the whole procedure should be easily scriptable, and the script can be left to run overnight. Of course it's much easier to do on a Freenix, but they could use e.g. ActivePerl on Winders. IIRC usual packages, like Net::SMTP and Net::FTP are available, so scripting the whole thing should not be too hard. And then there's Cygwin. 3) most likely can be fixed by carefully splitting config file into several files, using right CONFIGFILE directives, and running analog with the right +g options. 4) -- run a caching name server, that should help a lot with DNS lookups. This probably won't speed up the procedure too much, but if you get it to run unattended, who cares how long it takes -- as long as it finishes its run by morning.
