Yes, either Wget or some other third-party application.  I'd assume
that there are many applications that cover that particular niche, but
apparent popularity of Wget under Windows seems to speak otherwise.

GetRight is a full-featured applications comes to mind, but I don't
really know if it has the feature you need, getting a bunch of URLs
from a large list.  (I'd assume it does, but I can't guarantee it.)

I don't see anything obvious that might go wrong.  Nero will burn
"long" file names with Joliet extensions, which any modern Linux will
be happy to read.  For getting Wget you might want to link directly to
ftp://ftp.sunsite.dk/projects/wget/windows/wget-1.9.1b-complete.zip,
so the user doesn't have to browse through Herold's page to see what
it's about and what to get.

Oh, and the Windows users should preferrably be ones who know how to
run a command-line application, but I assume you've got that covered.
