About
Drop Download Uses OS 8.6's URL Access Scripting feature to download URLs and list directories. Needs: Tanaka's OSAX 2.0x to read clipping files - available free from the author at: Home page: The OSAX:
Drag as many of the following kinds of URL containing files as you wish onto Drop Download, and have them downloaded to a folder named "Downloads" on your startup disk.
1. TEXT file types containing a URL or a return deliminated list of URLs. 2. Netscape URL files. 3. Clipping files (regular or internet) with a URL or a return deliminated list of URLs. 4. Anarchie bookmarks. Or, 5. Double click Drop Download, and type or paste in a URL.
The URLs are saved into the "Comments" box of each file's "Get Info" window. Successful downloads are logged to a text file at "HD:System Folder:Application Support:URL Access Log Folder:URL Access Download Log" Error messages get saved to a text file on the desktop named "Download failures"
Updated script no longer pops URL Access Scripting to the front for each file when doing multiple file downloads, but rather uses a "silent mode" whenever it is doing multi - file (more than 1) downloads.
Will try up to 5 times whenever it gets a server busy error (I Hope!! I think the error is 12 but have been unable to test it!!).
