wget isn’t natively for win32, and this is streamlined and simple to use for the application I needed… this is much easier/effective for the given purpose.

I normally would use wget.
why are you not using wget?

Yes, there’s significant overlap between this and ‘wget’.

you should look at wget, which i’m pretty sure will run under cygwin

(snipped from the wget manpage):
…Wget can follow links in HTML and XHTML pages and create local versions of remote web sites, fully recreating the directory structure of the original site. This is sometimes referred to as “recursive downloading.” While doing that, Wget respects the Robot Exclusion Standard (/robots.txt). Wget can be instructed to convert the links in downloaded HTML files to the local files for offline viewing…

Sorry for being off topic, Shannon, but I was really hoping to read your thoughts on Obama’s inauguration. I’m sure I’m not alone in missing your political posts. Will you humor us?

Any mention of you writing code makes me hot and bothered. It may be that I have too many layers. :P
