Here's a script that downloads a 6Mb MP3: <?php $fp = fopen( "temp1.mp3", "wb" ); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://gramotunes.com/Life_is_Long.mp3" ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1 ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp ); curl_exec( $ch ); curl_close( $ch ); Save it as "download.php", and run the following two commands: time php download.php time wget http://gramotunes.com/Life_is_Long.mp3 I get real 0m6.105s and real 0m5.927s If your results are about equal, then the problem is not with PHP. -- http://www.otton.org/
