don't know about any such application, but what i do at my office is in my home directory i create a script ### download.sh ### cd /home/vivek wget -c http://the/file/i/wish/to/download ################### that script is chmoded $ chmod 755 /home/vivek/download.sh then, i open up my crontab $ crontab -e specify the timings 15 00 * * * /home/vivek/download.sh after adding the cron entry i save it (ESC, :wq <- vi commands). that's all. so, this way download is started at 0015 Hrs. yes, i can specify the date etc. in the crontab, but usually after reaching office i remove that cron entry so the file is not downloaded again and again every night at 0015 Hrs. what yu can do is, create a simple php script which allows yu to enter the URLs yu wish to download in the database (MySQL), and every night that script is executed at a specific interval and download begins. > BTW today completes my first week of NO WINDOZE !!!
