Hi, A lot of the readers here als prefer lftp as good choice for ftp'ing. Your two lines of getting the patches is indeed nice. Can also be done with wget only. Please allow me to remind the people here on the "getvim" script that I once wrote. It collect all patches and made one huge patchfile out of it. Quite trivial to use. http://www.akcaagac.com/tools/files/shell/getvim.sh Greetings, Ali Akcaagac
