You can't use colons in EXTERNAL, PRINTER, DOWNLOADER, UPLOADER,
etc. specifications. Well, actually, you can; you must backslashify
them. For c:\incoming, you must say:
EXTERNAL:http:start "Saving location" /c /f wget -P c\:/incoming -nd %s:TRUE
or
EXTERNAL:http:start "Saving location" /c /f wget -P c\:\\incoming -nd %s:TRUE
since if you use backslashes in a path you must also backslashify them.
