I've used cURL for many years and recommend it highly. It's now in its tenth year as open source with a business-friendly license and exceptional maintenance record. While on-going maintenance is a good thing (I try to not use OSS that hasn't been maintained in over 6 months) the fact that a utility is undergoing a lot of change should compel developers to periodically check the change logs to see if there is something broken/fixed for which they should be aware - that's one of the reasons why we're in this forum, no? For cURL there is a new release every couple months, new bugs and issues reported every single day in the forums, and similar daily changes to CVS. The more you use cURL the more vigilant you should be. Just set a recurring appointment for yourself to check the website. http://curl.haxx.se/changes.html http://curl.haxx.se/auto/cvshistory.html and others Of course, the same applies to all s/w I suppose, but I'll bet most people who use OSS don't subscribe to the mailing lists or check back to the site after it looks like everything is working well.
