If you have mirroring software on the WinXP box I believe you can  
mirror the i-packages root directory and it will grab all i-packages.  
Probably use binary transfer.

Two or so years ago I did this with WebGrabber for OS X and  
everything worked fine.

Root directories appear to be:

http://tug.org/i-packages/
http://www.ntg.nl/macosx-tex/i-packages/
http://www.math.utah.edu/ftp/pub/i-packages/
http://bloch.ling.yale.edu/i-packages/

Gerben, are there any problems with mirroring like this?
