I have a small suggestion. Here is a BAT file that retries the download
until it succeeds. That is when curl.exe returns 0.

:retry
curl http://mysite.com/myfile.html
if ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO retry

> Are there any specific return codes which i should check for?

In the above case, everything but 0 retries the download.

> How do i know if a download was successfull/failed or the network is down?

The return codes will be different. I don't know all the return codes, but
you can find them in the source code. Then you will have to use several "if
errorlevel" statements to cover the different cases.

Good luck!
