Of course I could wait until midnight and start the download but I wondered if there was a more automated way. Even to stop at 08:00 and resume the following midnight. I know that I could use cron but I would need to specify a time and the download location, which seems a little scary. I'd usually use lftp but maybe another client might offer a solution? Just thought, might wget do the job? Any suggestions anyone? Gena -- 2E0AXU Blindness Advocacy Self Help (BASH Online) bashonline-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Freedom & Power provided by debian GNU Linux
