This needs to be scripted. There are two options that you have here:
a) Run your script as a cron process at specified times ....
b) Use the "at" command for making the script ('man at' for details)
I prefer the flexibility of the latter. Can help in making such a
script if needed.

Sub : Corrupt .tar.gz downloads with Netscape LOST #249
Tarballs downloaded with Netscape at times seem to give error
during untarring. Some versions of Netscape (4.7x) do gunzip
on the fly, and what is saved is a .tar file (though the name
is still retained as .tar.gz). Doing a "file download.tar.gz"
can elucidate the problem ... 'tar -xvf' usually works.
