I'm not a windoze user but I would run the command in Gentoo, write down
the address, boot into windoze and poke it in < I hate this part> IE and
download it.  Then copy it over, ever how he plans to do that too.  :/

Of course, if he can't or doesn't want to do it that way, I gave him
another option, just in case.  ;-)
