I had seen aub but not nget or brag n my apt-cache searches. No idea what
terms I was using that didn't show nget. It appears to be (mostly) what I
was looking for. I'll probably still end up setting up sn to pull complete
groups when I get more drive space stuffed in the machine because I
frequently travel. I was just gone for 4 days and had no computer access so
I couldn't kick off downloads by hand. That would be a problem with a file
grabber intended for interactive use. I don't always know the filename I'm
looking for and they are frequently posted by different users with slightly
different naming formats -- even for a single series.

I've installed nget -- I'll play with it when I have a chance later this
week.

Thanks
