[wpkg-users] Replace xmlhttp download with curl/wget

Hello, While wondering why download is so slow, i looked around. The problem with WSH and URL downloads is: * It's a kludge. That's why it's documented as should not use * It even can crash the CMD-window WPKG runs in. * It works only with HTTP * It loads the file completely into memory before
