but i'm not asking for background download ! UNIX don't need help with
multitesking. all that featury needs to do is to run a sub-proccess,
something like "lynx -source <url> >file.name &", and that's all !

is it defficult to be done ?

maybe you can add any information-pass between the two progs. just
a little thing that will say "can't download", "starting download", 
just to know in general what's heppening to the file, so the user 
won't be suprized to find out an error msg, instead of his file...

see you soon...
