I have no idea what's KFFirstAide, I guess that's the name of a website…

I would call that a workaround.
Did you find out what were the certificate problems? If it was a valid 
certificate but wget rejected it, it's a bug in wget (or openssl / 
gnutls), but if it was a wrong certificate, that's a bug on their site 
(on the other hand, it may be that you are using wget with no ca bundle)

I have no idea how cookies can be "producing errors" that block 
downloading the files.

We don't distribute a runme.bat, but the wget binary (and I guess you 
got it from a third-party, since you seem to be using a windows binary)
If the page KFFirstAide provided you a runme.bat with a copy of wget, 
you should report these issues to them.
