As an example this works for me...

The file is in a Web server and so must be retrieved, so I use !"wget http://URL/filename"; In Linux this is OK, but in Windows this is a source of trouble for me, as Windows doesn't have a 'wget' by default. So, is there some way to implement a "downloader" for a file in Mathematica? Running Mathematica 5.2, Windows XP. Thanks, Renan.
