Hi again :-)

> A question: setting NO filters (erasing the default
> +*.gif and so..) isn't good? 

well... then all files on all given URLs are being downloaded. About 10x the
amount of those i need to download... 

sure, it is possible to download anything, and to filter after downloading by
deleting all unwanted files... but that is not really elegant, and - with my
given bandwidth - even impossible :-) (i am here at the university and i have
to download lots of pdf-files from manufacturers of electronic components
periodically)... 

hm, isnt the idea with

-*
+[current_url_from_filelist]/*.htm?+[current_url_from_filelist]/*.pdf[>100]

(where [current_url_from_filelist] is a variable provided by httrack to its
filter)

a good one, which could be useful for many others too ? 

Should be quite easy to implement (depends how the filters are being handled),
and would be a very mighty enhancements to the filter-rules... (anyone who
wants to download specive filetypes from a list of URLs needs something like
that)...

(hm, is it clear what i mean with that ? :-) maybe my english is not that
good...)

Thanks, bye, Richard :-)
