Has anyone written, or know of, a program that will compare the 
filesizes of files on a local copy of a website, with that on the 
website itself.

It has, in the past, been claimed that this is not possible. But to 
me, on my website, it looks eminently possible, because using FTPc I 
can see the filesizes of the files on the website itself.

But rather than start writing a program from scratch, someone must 
have written a program that does likewise. It may not work on every 
website, but it should be possible to write one that works on SOME 
websites meethinks, in particular those websites that allow the 
reading of filesizes...

If I was going there, I wouldn't start from here.
