There are tones of waysof doing it but why would you? Just so you can down load it before it is announced and then your down loads are slow because every one is getting it? ;-)

You would first need to know the path to the file then guess that the file name might be something like FC4*DVD*.iso and use ncftpget like this:

ncftpget ftp://some/path/FC4*DVD*.iso.

I imagine that taking path to the FC3 DVD and substituting the number "3" with "4" would be a good guess.

A cron job should be fine. But it seems pretty pointless for something that is just a beta any way :-)

Here's a dumb question. I want a way for my machine to check for, and automatically download if found, the DVD iso for Fedora Core 4 (test) when that is released to mirrors. Perhaps it could check every 3 hours after a certain date, say the 20th. Any ideas for how to make that happen?

Thanks
