Your browser window doesn't meta referesh like it should? I agree that it is a less than optimal situation. The stateless nature of http (or our desire to make it do things it was not designed to do) is a constant headache. How about a helper download application/applet that will talk directly to fred so it can give real-time % downloaded information and not tie up a browser window and cause refresh problems? > (Or I could use the command line.

But is there any easy way to url-decode a filename from a webpage to make it suitable for the command line? Some files have lots of funny characters that get encoded. I could write a little perl script to do it I suppose but it seems like there should be a better way. -- Tracy Reed http://www.ultraviolet.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
