+Yep, but in that case nothing bad happens anyway. A couple of errors

+It could do both :)
+Doesn't really matter, this is all extra anyway.

+Note that if you make it download it, you could also implement:
+a) make it print md5sum automatically
+b) make it print the dependencies automatically
+(see e.g. the earlier google earth script which does those IIRC)
+
+But as said, all of this is extra. Maybe the priority should be getting
+you a mentor.
