Those packages are reliable don't worry about the difference in ssl and eay 
libs. Günter did take down https mirror though so there is no way to verify it 
is coming from him I guess if you are concerned about a MITM attack. When I 
have questions I usually just e-mail him. What you are seeing with the 
difference in file sizes is because one is stripped and also much much older so 
there is less code. The OpenSSL version included with curl is 0.9.8u. Currently 
the latest 0.9.8 is 0.9.8w.

A lot of people are still downloading that. It is Wget 1.11.4 which is an older 
version. I have spoken with the gnuwin32 project lead about upgrading but his 
lack of response indicates he has no plans to do so. I maintain a download 
script for the gnuwin32 tools which uses adds a later version of OpenSSL and 
wget. Right now it is using:
GNU Wget 1.12.1-dev Mar 04 2010 (mainline-013c8e2f5997)
OpenSSL 1.0.0i 19 Apr 2012

The latest version of wget I've built is a test build based on some recent 
gnulib changes made last week. It comes with 1.0.0i. It is not included with 
the downloader.
GNU Wget 1.13.4-2603-dirty built on mingw32

Putting wget and curl in the same directory may or may not work depending on 
any conflicting dependencies. It gets much more complicated as you have all 
your CLI programs in the same directory or a directory in your path. Windows 
did introduce side-by-side (SxS) dependencies to solve (some) of those issues 
but I'd say 99.99% of your CLI stuff won't be using that, except maybe 
sometimes for older releases of Microsoft's C runtime.

Here is something that should work. Download
http://sourceforge.net/projects/getgnuwin32/files/getgnuwin32/test%20builds/wget_2603__mingw__04-22-12.zip/download
Move your *static* curl.exe and libcurl.dll (the one you say you downloaded) to 
the root\bin directory. Do not move in the OpenSSL dlls from curl. That way you 
can have the latest wget and curl in the same directory, with the latest 
OpenSSL used by both. The latest cacert.pem is included as well. If you run 
curl you should get
curl 7.25.0 (i386-pc-win32) libcurl/7.25.0 OpenSSL/1.0.0i zlib/1.2.6 libidn/1.18
 libssh2/1.4.0 librtmp/2.3
switch to C:\whatever\root\bin and you can do
C:\wget\root\bin>curl --cacert cacert.pem -o test https://encrypted.google.com
C:\wget\root\bin>wget --ca-certificate=cacert.pem -O test 
https://encrypted.google.com
or add the root\bin to your path and add cacert.pem to your wget and curl 
configuration files so you don't have to do that each time
