Well, the files are here: http://download.kde.org/stable/4.10.2/win32/
But you would have to download lots of files individually, and it's hard to
tell which ones you need. That's pretty much what the installer is *for*:
doing dependency management, figuring out what's needed, and downloading
only that.
