That's sort of the nature of older tools with a well-defined mission- they do their job so well there's little itch to tweak them. If it ain't broken, you don't fix it. Freshmeat lists wget as "mature", which basically means the same thing. I guess wget will have to get a bit immature to get some buzz going. Some pretty insane goals in a wget2 roadmap would probably do the trick. How about announcing plans implement DHT and make bittorrent obsolete? That should make slashdot ;-) Tony -- The above is not to be taken seriously.
