On *nix machines there will be always the wget. I love that command. Use it for everything. FTP, WWW and it has resume and recursive downloading. Use system to execute it!
-- My opinions may have changed,
but not the fact that I am right
the script is in fact a CGI script and it sends files to STDOUT and keeps the track using a counter now some one told me that Apache tells very late when the connection is expired, so if that is the way my script will not work good, it will cause data loss so how to work that out ??
how to detect from Perl if the Apache has disconnected
