Thank you for your input!

What you  mentioned above is one way to do it.  Although I do not think 
Mercurial is needed to download the zips provided by Mercurial itself.

e.g.:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/archive/jdk7-b24.zip
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jdk/archive/jdk7-b24.zip
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/corba/archive/jdk7-b24.zip
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jaxp/archive/jdk7-b24.zip
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jaxws/archive/jdk7-b24.zip
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/hotspot/archive/jdk7-b24.zip
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/langtools/archive/jdk7-b24.zip
