(Though that might've changed meanwhile.) That's true, Curl doesn't do mirroring. Command-line options may exist, but one I'm aware of is that the Gopherus Gopher client since version 1.2 has the feature "all files from current folder can be downloaded by pressing F10". Not comparable to Wget's recursive mode, but enough for some tasks. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
