Variants make life extremely difficult. Remember each release (war) gets
packaged for half a dozen platforms. There’s also Docker.
Then there’s the storage space issue — we currently already take down older
releases from the mirrors because of storage space limitations.

Would a script (Powershell or Bash) work as well, that you’d have the user
execute?
E.g. have the user select which plugins they'd like, or even select from
certain presets. This will result in a command like
wget -q -O - http://foo.jenkins-ci.org/bar/SOMEID | bash
This will then go on to download all plugins and their dependencies. Dump them
in /plugins and you're done. Or upload them to Jenkins all at once using
something like http://html5demos.com/dnd-upload
