I just use the archive links on the http://digitalmars.com/D page, or 
google i.e. google for "site:digitalmars.com/D <thing I want>"

It works. :)

Edit C:\DMD\BIN\SC.INI, eg.

[Version]
version=7.51 Build 020

[Environment]
LIB="%@P%\..\lib";%@P%\..\..\dm\lib
DFLAGS="-I%@P%\..\src\phobos"
LINKCMD=%@P%\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe

Add your import and lib paths, eg.

[Version]
version=7.51 Build 020

[Environment]
LIB="%@P%\..\lib";%@P%\..\..\dm\lib;%@P%\..\..\D\LIB
DFLAGS="-I%@P%\..\src\phobos;%@P%\..\..\D\IMPORT"
LINKCMD=%@P%\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe

Not to my knowledge.
