You could run setup.exe in download mode and select re-install (or possibly
re-download) for the packages you already have, but wget or ncftp would be
more effecient.  If you already have the package installed, you may have
the archive around somewhere as well, so you wouldn't need to download it.

This may also give you some hints for building a list of files to download
with wget:
