Unfortunately, I can't try this on Windows, so I'm doing it on OS X. Using your
wget options, I see this:
blah $ unzip -l web2py_src.zip | grep -i version
37 12-22-10 09:31 web2py/VERSION
blah $ unzip -l web2py_win.zip | grep -i version
37 12-22-10 09:33 web2py/VERSION
If I create web2py/version first, it gets overwritten with web2py/VERSION when
I do the unzip (since OS X's default file system, like Windows', is not
case-senstive).
Is it possible that you had a 'version' there to begin with? If so, perhaps
it's a Windows unzip peculiarity.
