Answering to your reply on dl() function not being too long. It is not just that. It is a question of being modular. Tomorrow, if I want to change the way I connect or download, I only need to change the function that does that rather than the dl() function. In fact, one can have multiple functions for different types of connections, and let the user choose based on options (static/dynamic). A function must do one job and do it well. This allows the design to scale, rather than having to maintain multiple versions of the dl() function. Write programs that do one thing and do it well ~ Douglas McIlroy Of course, this is a trivial example for demonstration, but, good habits start early.
