Instead of going to the URLs, choose File->Open Cache (I think). That'll
let you browse in your Newt's Cape cache. Find the base page of what you
downloaded, and there you go.

http://www.kagi.com/weyer/#NewtsCape for everything. Read the docs -
they're really helpful. The plugin you're looking for to create packages
is NewtPack. I don't think you can schedule package creation, though - I
wish it was there too.
