    The question is not can you download tarballs in Windows...the question is why would you want to?

    you'd be able to grab the files down from the web in Windoz, and then either burn a CD (if that's what you're after) or simply mount your windoze partion once you've rebooted into Linux and then use it (the windoze partion) like a normal linux hard disk.

    have fun

    ...the question is why would you want to?
    I have a dual boot PC that my wifi in Suse doesn't work (broadcom chipset), but I can boot to win and download any file to my fat32 part. that is mounted in Suse for use there. I can then get access to the net/files in directly with this method.

    I also don't have a dialup account and my cable provider requires a client software install that doesn't support linux so using the hardwired nic onboard isn't a option either for my Suse. So my linux OS can only interact with the net at work using the NIC.
