Downloading Connections & The Day the Universe Changed

Howdy:
I was a little bored and decided I wanted to download some of these programs (Connections, DUC).
Being the lazy b@st@rd I am, I automated the task after some judicious grep/sed/awk. Those of you fortunate enough to be running linux or cygwin (under Windows) can download the attached tar file, untar it, chmod a+x the *tcsh files, and execute the tcsh scripts in the background(0). If you get to the net via a proxy server, man wget to see how to modify the scripts.
To see how things are going, tail -f the *log file(s).
Those of you sadly without useful command-line tools can download the Conections & Day the Universe Changed with the urls below:

(0) As always, before running a script on your box, at least give it a quick look-see in a text editor to make sure it isn't something harmful. These are one-liners, fortunately.

Unix scripts are all well and good, but more important would be a description of what on earth you're trying to download...

Connections & The Day the Universe Changed are late-1970's short television series that examine the links between history, science, & technology. I think they are a bit too tidy, but they are entertaining.
This might help, too:
