Subject: How to check when a file has changed from URL?

 

I have a url that when I launch it, I receive the File Download 'Do you
want to open or save this file?' dialogue box. Currently I download this
file manually. The file changes every few weeks or so, but I have no
idea when. I simply download the file every so often and compare it to
the last copy I downloaded. I would like to be able to have a process
that checks this URL regularly and inform me when the file has changed
from the copy I currently have. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
I've tried changedetect.com but was unsuccessful.

Thanks!
