A thought, and a suggestion: Thought: Some of the rules in 'rules du jour' look like they are fairly 'stable'. There is no reason to be downloading 'backhair' or 'weeds' everyday, is there? Suggestion: For frequent changers, like 'evilrules', how about setting up a flag system where, for example, a single file is accessed for a timestamp, and only if the timestamp is 'new' does the script perform the various downloads. This way, most nights, there is ONE HTTP access, to get the timestamp, and its a small file, rather than several big ones. This might require a 'central' site to keep the timestamp. But this would work for all of Jennifer's rules, at least..... - Charles ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
