Title: Automatic File Download for Users
Post by: Teviot on December 15, 2004, 06:36:17 AM

Some years ago with an ISP I used, they had a web page that would allow you to enter the URL of a file you wanted to download.  This URl would then download the file when the system wasn't very busy and the email you to tell you it had been downloaded completely and then gave you another URl to download it.

Does anyboy know how this was done and can it be done on SME??

You want a mechanism which dls a file depending on server load? wget, top and cron could do that. I am not experienced enough to tell you how exactly. The first step i'd take is to store my desired dls in a file and use wget -i on it.
