This is damn cool. Part of me wonders if this could become part of SA officially. Could be a backend to even update SA code? Just a thought.

Chirs (Thielen),
I was just looking at the script and have the following comments:
+ I had an older version of curl installed on my system (and the compress option was not available, therefore, this failed. I upgraded to the latest release and things worked as expected.
+ When displaying errors in debug mode, there were references to ${TMPDIR}/wget.log even though the script tried to use curl, I modified it to display ${HTTP_ERROR} instead which is what the functions set to display the error.
