whatever), let it start downloading.  Works pretty nice, might take all night on
dsl/cable, oh don't even try it on 56k.  You might even find stuff you're not
supposed to.  It's easier than running a webserver.  You limit the size of the
files to download too, so you don't waste time downloading huge things.  This is
a tool used for finding other stuff on websites, that I won't go into on this
forum.
