While I really don't like web-based installs very much, some people really (really) want this feature, so I threw something together:

This is actually just a small EXE you include in your installer and run to download your files. I like it.

Please tell me what happens when you run it on a dial-up computer that is not connected to the internet. Email: wiked_edge@yahoo.com

I like this...
but extract webfile.exe to $TEMP and copy the downloaded files to $INSTDIR with CopyFiles "$TEMP\*.*" "$INSTDIR"0.
Dial-up: yes it worked!
btw, look at te installer to cygwin (http://cygwin.com/)
