After talking to a wget-savvy friend, I finally got everything working. I had to download a special wget-for-Windows file, put that folder in Program Files, and edit the .bat file a little (the second 30 Boxes URL had to be replaced with the first one, among other things).

Copy the output, and you can hit return to un-pause

Does the code above still work? I'm pretty sure I followed all the steps correctly but nothing happens when I run the scheduled task (the command prompt appears for half a second but then goes away ... not long enough to read it). Any help would be appreciated -- thanks!
