Fair point - I'd ordinarily only do that sort of thing in one
hit for much smaller list of files - eg a 12 page tutorial I
wanted to be able to browse offline.
10,000 files I'd trickle over a longer period, and only if the
maintainer was unwilling to make them available as an archive
as Anders suggested.
