Thank you for this hint. I really is the far better way for downloading 
files via HTTP/FTP. I had some problems first with setting the right 
options, but managed to get this straightened out for allowing redirects 
and binary downloads.
And once again I'm sitting here in front of a few lines of PHP code and 
can't believe how awesome this is! Now that I got the download portion 
done, I will go on for getting the stats.

This is so kewl!

Thanks again,


David
