Yes, lots of options are possible. It is also possible to download files from PHP itself using libcurl. But I want to run the modules on different machines: Webserver ( Apache, PHP, MySQL) - (Frontend) | | Download Server --------- Internet | | <--- LAN Storage Server (Eg. a ftp server) The main reason is that I want to distribute the load. The download server is going to be in my server room, where I have to put this on an existing machine. This is also one of the reasons I am hesitent to use Java, because I will have to install a jvm on the machine. I also feel that decoupling the systems will allow greater flexibility and allow for many different configuration and is overall a better design. -Devendra. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
