Dunno! It's always been there in the distributable and never really bothered to look at anything else. From memory, I think it was because of the DLL hell - the fluff on the side you needed to get it to work which would cause the package size to blow out. wget is only 159K and doesn't use extra fluff.
I did use it in the SBS_DL_LINUX downloader... Should probably have another look at it - pretty sure it does gzip.
