I am on dialup, (uk is behind...) anyway is there any easy script that you can put on a server that tells it to go and get the file from the web without requiring the user to stay connected, ie you can press GO and it works...

I assume this is how DMOZ thing works, we put the dump on our servers, untar it and then import into links and go about deleting what we don't want. I need to import most of >Arts so i would think this is easiest way. Is my server (PIII 650 256MB) going to die on me?

Thanks...

You can use LWP. I posted a 4 line program quite awhile back that would do that.

i am assuming it will be this download:
structure.rdf.u8.gz

as opposed to the non u8 format.

Am i right?
