New release: 0.2
You can now download the torrent files directly instead of your torrent client opening. Great for users who don't have a torrent client or who can't install them because of the computer they're using.
The display of messages and pop up alerts is probably screwed up because of how I have restructured the program. If you see something that could be improved or is a bug (about messages or otherwise) please let me know.
Sometimes the status window will look frozen for a bit before suddenly filling with all the progress bars - don't worry if that happens, it's still doing stuff (you can open log.txt in baretail, if I haven't stuffed up the logging too much you should be able to see what's happening). If this does happen though I'd appreciate you letting me know (by clicking 'Report a problem' best because it will also send your log file to me), because it's hard to reproduce it doing this consistently. Also, if you're a Java guru who understands synchronisation, and you want to help me fix it, I WILL LOVE YOU.

I'm rewriting the OP since there has been some progress.
First release is at https://github.com/quantumcat1/A9LH-Guide-File-Downloader/releases/tag/v0.1 and some latest bugfixes are at http://quantumc.at/AGFD.jar (download from here if you want to test it).
This program lets you select the page of the guide you are on and your console type, and download the files associated. It will extract anything that needs to be extracted and save it to the right path. Magnet links will be opened in your torrent client. A message will tell you what you need to do for any file that isn't saved to the right place already.
Info about the pages and files are kept on a database and fetched by the program. It is kept updated by a scraper. The scraper is currently based off my fork of the guide since it required some small additions. Currently I'm getting notifications on guide commits, then I merge it and run the scraper to get any changes to files linked. In future I will make a pull request to the guide to add my additions and new commits will directly trigger the scraper, instead of me needing to do a merge. This way it will stay updated automatically, forever.
This is what it currently looks like:
This is what it will look like in the future, thanks to the GUI created by @Olmectron who has also been very helpful with testing:
