Well yes that is what I'm trying to do - I was just a bit wary about 
saying so explicitly on the list... But I think it's pretty obvious 
anyway from what I've said already so never mind.

So far I've not had much luck at a linux solution, but have managed to 
download the two files I am interested in at the moment using orbit 
downloader in windows - this works pretty well.

If anyone knows of a better place to discuss stuff like this, it would 
be good to know.
