Three questions:

1. it seems like this procedure requires running regression tests 
manually (or at least with some tool like wget), right? What about tests 
I'm still running in background , ie.
python.exe regression.py "--runner=Bronek Kozicki" --tag=RC_1_32_0 
---local=boost_1_32_0.zip --toolsets=vc-7_1,mingw-3_3_1,mingw-3_4_2 
 >boost_regression.log 2>&1

are these still useful?

2. what about --tag=RC_1_32_0 option? Should I keep it when running this 
"manual regression test procedure" or remove it?

3. how often these manual regression tests should be run?
