AerialX clued me in to Mono.

I got the source to NUS Downloader from here:
http://code.google.com/p/nusdownloader/

I recompiled with dimensions to work for Mac OS X.

With the original source it looked like this:

With the modified source, we're in business:

I then packaged the exe into an app.

No more WINE and it's 711MB version, this one is all of 98kb. You can't get much smaller.

There are a few issues which I need to fix.

First off, you need key.bin, which is illegal to distribute here. You place that key.bin file here:
(ctrl+click or right-click on the app file and select "Show Package Contents" if you're confused)
NUS Downloader.app/Contents/Resources/key.bin

Second, it crashes when it tries to download.

I'll get on that later, but for now, here's the initial release.

As Eric Raymond said: release early, release often.

Heh, just keep in mind it's not exactly functional yet, but I'm working on it.

I won't be doing much with it this week as this is finals week, but soonish.
