After downloading from:

The executable does not run. When I attempt to run it, I receive the following message:

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

This is on Windows XP Home. As far as I can tell, there are only two types of accounts: Administrators and Limited users. I'm using an Administrator account, so I don't think permissions could be the problem.

Well, apparently permissions /was/ the problem after all. I don't understand XP Home permissions at all -- I can't find any way to examine or change permissions using the OS itself. But using Cygwin I could see that the files didn't have executable permissions set for any user, and I could fix that using chmod. I guess Cygwin wget just uses different permissions than Windows uses by default. Making a copy also seems to set the permissions normally in the copy.
