It is generally not a good idea to attach files like .zip or .rar! Windows users do not like to get such things via mail cause of the risk to infect their systems with a virus. You could paste your script directly in the mail body so everybody could read it without to extract files from an archive. Since i am using Linux it was no problem for me to open the file because for me it is nearly no risk. The file in the rar archive is a Windows batch file. This is the wrong mailinglist for that! This is the mailinglist of the Python programming language and you will not reach the right persons for answering your question here... :( I don't know where to go with your problem but a Windows batch programming list would be a better place to ask... One hint: I don't know how downloading files from a batch script work in Windows environments. A nice tool for downloading files in UNIX environments is called "wget". I think there is a Windows port available... <<<googleing>>> Ah, here it is: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm Since this is the Python mailinglist you maybe should write your batch script in Python. Then this list could help you going on... ;) Kind regards, hanez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
