You can use comp.exe to compare the two files, it's on winxp and later by default.

Wget and run a filediff check of some sort. From: Mark Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 08, 2010 12:42 PM To: NT System Admin Issues 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<http://changedetect.com> but was unsuccessful.
