Emacs should be able to download the files even on Windows without
installing wget, e.g. this should work:
(eww "http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-paper.html")
There is a variable url-cache-directory suggesting that caching can
happen transparently. Maybe you could even supply your own
url-cache-creation-function. Or figure out what functions you could
reuse to simulate wget and your caching strategy in pure Emacs more
closely.
I know you want to do it manually, but why bother beginners with that?
