Nice, your guy's version of wget is better then mine! I tried that once (granted that was years ago now that I think about it) and it keeled over and died! OK, so I stand corrected there... But has anyone seen a PHP port of wget or is curl the only one of the 2 which does it natively in a compiled version of php with curl? :) If it works natively in PHP, then there are 2 choices and neither has to be executed outside of PHP. :) Wolf
