Yeah, I think myself and Steve Donovan reported similar problems a year or
so ago, but probably most of the devs here are, like yourself, not running
Windows environments, so it gets lost in the noise. I sent a patch for the
install batch file (about Luajit) and never heard anything back, so maybe
Win32 is under-represented (and/or it was a rubbish patch :D)
I'm using wget from the gnuwin32 collection, it seems to work fine.
