I was looking at the wrong file. It turns out it is downloading but what isn't working is automatic appending. I download 11 files and join them into 1 by using  $file = ">c:/filename"; for the 2nd thru 11th files. The > command no longer seems to work. EDIT : I have my script working again by removing the > and instead combining the files after they are loaded using the windows command copy \b. Thanks.
