Short : Get any www file with email
Author : Yves Grabowsky (YvesGrabowsky@t-online.de)
Uploader: YvesGrabowsky@t-online.de
Type : comm/mail
Requires: RexxReqtools-, Rexxtricks-, tritonrexx-, rexxapp- and rxsocket.library
Version : 1.01
We all know this situation, we've found a large file (mp3, mpeg,...)
on a server we want to get, but there are some problems...
Often the servers on the internet are very busy and the phone
rates are very high, so it would be better if we could receive the
file from our ISPs fast mail server. It seems like the same problem
had some genius people, and so they set up a service that leeches www
files and sends them to you via email, they called this service
"Downloadslave" (http://www.downloadslave.com).
AmiURLRequester is a clone of the pc program URLRequester.
You send a mail containing urls to www files to the
downloadslave, it downloads this urls and then it sends the
downloaded file to your email address. PC lamers have the program
URLRequester for writing this mail, Amigans had to write this
mail with hand, so I decided to write AmiURLRequester.
