Have a look at LWP::Simple to start with. `use LWP::Simple; my $url = "http://www.foo.com/mp3s/foo.mp3"; my $file = "/path/to/local/file/foo.mp3"; getstore($url, $file);` [download] Plus some error handling and "use strict;" and maybe some more features and you'll be lucky. alex pleiner <alex@zeitform.de> zeitform Internet Dienste	[reply] [d/l]
