Hi,

it works fine, but sometimes it downloads *nothing as readme due ?some
server/client side timeout.

It would be interesting to know why the downloads fail for you. You can check that with pca's "--debug" option.

can be inside pca script added some test if for example readme was
successfully downloaded or some optimizations for downloader ?

Actually, pca already does a lot to ensure that downloads are successful: It uses wget, which does a very good job at dealing with slow or hanging connections. Plus, it has a "--dltries=NUM" option which will retry failed downloads with rising intervals.

The most frequent issues with downloading files from SunSolve are not because of slow connections which time out, though, but with the Sun webserver turning down a dowloading request with an "internal server error" immediately. There's not much pca could do to workaround those.

Martin.
