Here is a simple solution to all your problems:
First...get WinUAE for your PC.........then download AIAB (Amiga IN A Box) and install it into WinUAE...........its super easy...........Now take your A1200 harddrive and connect it to your PC.......Yes! thats right connect it in the IDE chain..........now from WinAUE add the hard drive to AIAB's configuration..................and whalla!! everything you download on your PC you can just drag and drop into your A1200's hard drive...............then once you've downloaded all and everything you wanted........put the drive back into your A1200 and you have all you need............you can always go back and connect it if you want to add more stuff............
Also you can back up your entire HD into WinUAE and if your A1200 HD gets messed up for some reason......yo have it backed up in WinUAE plus..........you can also burn your HD contents onto CD for safe keeping!
