Yes, one could do like that...

You could, if you can program winsock...

What a grate idea!

But unfortunately someone has already beaten you to it - it's already in
Arachne <VBG>
For instance take a look at this file (which presently isn't linked to):
http://hem1.passagen.se/bernie/bernie.asf
It contains the following:

Atleast in theory (I have never connect with Arachne as you know) this
would download my entire webpage (not the programs) to the Arachne cache.
You can try it out if you want (turn images off or it will take a long time
on a few of those).
Now how to set this up so it connects and isconnects as well? Add this first:
"arachne:dialer"
and this last:
"arachne:hangup"
Also see the following document in your main Arahcne directory (1.50 s.r.c
paths) doc\acf_asf.htm for more info.
