What procedure do I need to take, if it is different from the one on your link ?

You have high speed internet you can try download a 1 gigabyte file it would take me longer to download the file than to build.
And, you might be wasting time downloading a file you can't use.
Link to the new wxPack site https://github.com/rjpcomputing/wxpack/wiki
Reading more about the site; I am guessing you built wxWidgets MinGW64 both 32-bit and 64-bit.
If you decided to download wxPack; I suggest trying TDM version of MinGW64 and see if it works with wxPack before trying the MinGW64 version.

Is this the one distro that includes the entire library + graphical development tools ? I have been looking for it, but didn't find it ( or didn't know that was it, ).
I can download 1 gigabyte file in a reasonable time. Why is this file 1 GB in size, but the built libraries that you mentioned take 2 GB ?

It is zipped up and the 2 GB was just a guess of total space used.
Try clicking on the downloads link. https://github.com/rjpcomputing/wxpack/wiki
The one with 3.0 in the name.

Hey, I just noticed the download has a link with the Compiler the wxWidgets was built with.
You will likely need both of the downloads. Skip the wxPack 2.8 unless you wish to do 2.8 in addition to 3.0 wxWidgets.
Note: The on-line info is better for 2.8 and CB works better with 2.8 so you might be better off with 2.8.

Right now I am slightly confused ??? I am currently downloading the "wxPack_v3.0.00.03.exe" . What to do after it finishes the download ? Will I need to download something else ?

Do you have personal experience in developing apps with wxWidgets ? Better on-line info for 2.8 and better CB support are great arguments to use this version. Do you happen to know if there's a big difference between 2.8 and 3.0 ? Surely 3.0 must be better developed version, and some day good on-line doc will appear too, so I don't want to stay too much behind ...

I have only really complied projects using wxWidgets; I have never written projects using wxWidgets.
The 3.0 download should contain the wx tools; no idea how good the wxWidgets tool is/are in wxPack.
I do know wxSmith part of Code::Blocks currently works better with wxWidgets 2.8.
But, the CB Team is working on fixing all the wxWidgets 3.0 bugs in wxSmith as they are reported.
I have NOT paid attention on how quickly the fixes are being done to wxSmith.
You will NEED to download the TDM Compiler, also.
wxWidgets is a C++ Library; C++ Library often need a closely matching compiler for the Library to work correctly or at all.
