in terms of downloading tech... i did consider looking into droids but couldn't find a release and it required jdk 1.6 so concluded that it's not an immediate option (i needed something right away) in the medium term, i think moving to droids sounds like the right move in terms of process, i see crawler as a replacement for the recursive rat script: download a release tree, check sums and signatures, unpack releases then run rat on each so it's more than just droids. - robert
