Can you dumb it down for me a little more?

I don't have a wget tool installed on w2k desktop.  If I want to use this
mirror:

http://cygwin.get-software.com/

And the top folder on that mirror shows these files:

 Parent Directory        07-May-2003 04:45      -
 mail-archives/          09-May-2003 05:29      -
 md5.sum                 08-May-2003 20:54     1k
 release/                09-May-2003 05:44      -
 setup.bz2               08-May-2003 20:10    45k
 setup.exe               07-Apr-2003 06:20   253k
 setup.exe.old           08-Mar-2003 17:08   180k
 setup.ini               08-May-2003 20:10   176k
 tmp/                    09-May-2003 05:29      -
 xfree/                  09-May-2003 05:29      -

What should folder should I grab?  Should I grab everything in the release
folder and download it into a folder on my computer called
'cygwin_packages_I_downloaded'?

Thanks for the help.
