>1) open/read/write reads the information as text, not binary info >From the docs on the Open File command:
You can optionally specify either text or binary mode. If you specify text mode, when you use the write to file command to put data in the file, any combinations of line feed and return characters are translated to a single line feed before being written to the file. If you specify binary mode, return and line feed characters are not translated. If you don�t specify a mode, the file is opened in text mode. >2) get/put URL might go faster if if you get/put the data into a variable >and write it out once, rather than writing after each 'get' (slow). I orignally considered this, but since these combined files may be as big as 100 MB (or larger) it didn't seem like a good idea. However, what I'm a bit confused about is that both approaches simply read in files and append them to another file. Why is one approach so much slower than the other?
