You can use e.g. wget -N -P /var/cache/ with URIs for multiple individual 
files and their detached .sigs: e.g. some of setup_x86{,_64}.exe{,.sig}
setup.ini{,.xz,bz2}{,.sig}, then after gpg --verify, cp -pu to where 
you want to use or store them, appending a release number if you want, 
as described in earlier posts.
