It can be done fairly easily. If you know VBScript you can go to 
http://paulsadowski.com/WSH/ and look at the script for getting binary 
files. You'd have to modify it to open a file with the URLs and get each.

I actually wrote a GUI bsed file grabber in VB for someone. It limits what 
extension it will grab though. It's designed for vids and pix. But it's 
fairly easy to write applications like that that use IE in a hidden window.

In this case you'd probably do best getting a copy of wget for windows. You 
can then make a batch file that sequentially calls wget with the desired 
URLs.
