    Kind of.
    Maybe there's a simpler way?:-D

      If your program runs within any webserver environment, you won't get things any simpler than that unless you can explain what environment exactly you have.

      Spawning an external process and displaying its progress is about as simple as you can get.

        Ok.
        I will get to that, but another question first: Maybe i can make a separate script for itm that I call via system()?
        system("fetchmyfile.pl $url $destination_file")
