I figured that might be the case. Still, wget is easy enough to find for 
Windows.

Oh. Really?

I must admit, I do recall trying to use md5sum.exe and discovering that 
it only works for files in the current folder. I guess it dislikes 
backslashes or something. (You could try using forward slashes instead - 
not many people know this, but Windows itself does accept them.) It'll 
still break on the drive specifier, most likely.

Beware that Task Scheduler runs things under a different user account, 
with different access permissions. If I had a penny for every time a 
script has broken due to permission errors when run under Task Scheduler...
