Sadly, you are stuck and will not be able to download your source files directly from App Engine.
To be ready next time, you will need to set up some sort of version control system. One place to start is with Project Hosting at Google Code: http://code.google.com/projecthosting/ <http://code.google.com/projecthosting/>More specifically, there is a Getting Started guide here: http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/GettingStarted <http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/GettingStarted>You can use either Subversion or Mercurial with Google Code (there is also the popular http://github.com/ site) So, next time you are on your desktop, you can upload your code to github or google code or some other site that will enable you to easily download code from any other computer. If you want to just learn about what version control (or revision control) is all about, maybe look here (though, this is probably too much information to really take in): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control Mainly, follow that Getting Started guide to set up a repository, and then you can have a remote place to keep track of changes you make to your code. And, no matter what happens to your desktop computer (cat knocks over a glass of water and fries your home PC [or Mac or Sparc station or whatever]), you will have a remote copy of all of your code to redownload whenever you are ready. Having version control set up for your project will make working on your code from multiple locations (home, work, vacation laptop) painless and possibly pleasant. Good luck!
