Disclaimer: I am only writing the following as a more-or-less curl port maintainer :) I like fetch, and I use it for all downloads on my FreeBSD systems (even going as far as invoking it from a portal mount.. but that's a different story). So.. I don't know about downloading, but fetch(1) does not support uploads, at least not that I'm aware of. Besides, fetch(1) is more or less FreeBSD-specific, and people with that Finnish-OS background might be used to curl syntax already, or may choose to use the same tool under various OS's. I don't think this counts as 'much more powerful', but curl sure does have some strong points (whereas fetch(1) unarguably has others :) G'luck, Peter -- What would this sentence be like if it weren't self-referential?
