hmmmm,

ssh + wget? put into motion with a nice little "add url here and press enter" script?
perl cgi with wget? looking, looking, looking, uh huh,

here ya go,
http://freshmeat.net/projects/wget4web/ ? (maybe?)

This sounds fun, I'm gonna write something like this. Keep it simple. Like a small
web daemon like webfsd (https) and a wget script. Hmm, maybe I'll just use the above. lol.
The whole wheel analogy again...

Thanks for the idear.
