copying files from a html server

[adventuresofgreg]

Hi: I'm trying to find the fastest way to COPY a whole whack of ".csv.gz" files from a URL to my hard drive.

I am able to extract the list of the file URL's, but I don't want to read each file into memory, then write it to a new file on my harddrive - that will take too long. Is there a way to simply copy the file?

Thanks!
Greg

Hi Greg,

doesn't "libUrlDownloadToFile" work for you?
This is non-blocking and does not read the whole file into memory like "load" does".
