Thank you very much, works as expected :-) I will remember that!
Is there an advantage in using curl instead of wget??

Curl has more options when it comes to downloading and saving data from
websites, specially with GET and POST actions.
For your application it doesn't really matter.

from the curl manual:

or you can get sequences of alphanumeric series by using [] asin:

ftp://ftp.numericals.com/file[1-100].txt
ftp://ftp.numericals.com/file[001-100].txt (with leading zeros)
ftp://ftp.letters.com/file[a-z].txt


wouldn't that matter for my application? :-)

Curl has a zillion options, just like e.g. rsync. Nice to know, but
impossible to know them all..
Thanks.

Theo
