Yep, but in that case nothing bad happens anyway. A couple of errors
from failing cp and mv commands are printed, but nothing else.

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.
