I wrote a program to do that already. Once I find it I'll email it to you or
post it here tomorrow.

I have a program that will get the webpage once. It shouldn't be hard to make it
repeat the procedure. The guts of it came from urlmon.ew in the archives.

That should be all you need.

while [ true ]
do
wget $1
sleep $2
done
Could easily be trsnalated to euphoria and run in windows if you download wget
for windows.

Sorry, should have been wget -r $1, not wget $1. The latter caused wget to not
replace an existing file, rather rename it. I figure you wanted the former. Btw,
$1 is the first command line option (file to download), $2 is the second one (the
number of seconds to wait between downloads).

Hehe, was wrong again :) -r does have the desired effect, however, it also
triggers recursive downloading (which is not at all what we want). -N does the
right thing, with the added niceness that it doesn't download the file if the
timestamp on the local file is as new as or older than the file being downloaded.
