Ralph,
I'm surprised firefox doesn't have a plugin/extension to do what you
want.
Gregory
I'd be surprised if one existed that does what I want. I've looked
twice, and I only see what looks like ways that would have the same
inconvenience I already have.
I thought someone already mentioned gwget and the firefox extension
fireget? Did you look at that? Does that do anything like what you want?
Sorry, time lag. I download emails. Sometimes, I start responding
before looking at the rest. (Gotta get myself into the habit of
switching to offline mode after grabbing emails so I can cancel replies
that have been negated.)
The fireget extension link gives me a page of gobbeldygook.
But gwget is working pretty well. I just wish I knew a way to force new
files written to that directory to be touched with the current timestamp
(since wget, and apparently gwget, preserves the original timestamp of
the file from the other computer).
