  GET http://xxx.xxx.xxx/www/zzz/abc.zip > abc.zip &

`ncftp ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/abc.gzip &`

will do it

maybe 
`ncftp ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/abc.gzip > /dev/null &`

Another easy way is to issue a command like this:

echo "GET /abc.zip" | nc xxx.xxx.xxx 80 > zbc.zip

This requires that netcat is installed.

Wouldn't it be easier to use 'lynx' (-dump or -source or somesuch)
or 'snarf'?

Hi,

In libwww-perl there is a command GET  that makes the trick.
If you have a squid proxy, you can read it next time directly from 
cache. Otherwise, you can put it to a file.
