I've already written the script for this, so that piece is complete. The files are not 0 bytes in length. They're actually 100 bytes in length. When you dump them they show 0 objects, which Xastir must figure to ignore. Putting a dummy with some objects in the file, makes them show up long

All, A script could be written and run under root/sudo privileges that does the WGET, then puts in zero length files as placeholders if there are no files present in the download package. Xastir would have to accept zero length as a legit file. Now, there would have to be some way of forcing
