I could send you my windows wget.bat script I've used to mirror Suse's S390 SLES8 and SLES9 sites; haven't tried it with new Novell site but it sounds like just a URL change according to Mark's post. You'd have to install free GnuWin32 wget on a PC

My impression is that wget does the same thing, security wise, as your browser. That is, it gets certificates and does it's automagical thing that allows you to connect to the outside world. So, my impression (and I haven't the foggest idea what I'm talking about on this one), is: Your browser connected to an agent, which exchanges certificates. If valid, then translates your private IP address to a public IP address to go out to the public Internet. This function seems to be called NAT or NATTed. >From a discussion a couple years ago, wget will also do the same functions as a browser. But I didn't spend much time trying to get it to work.
