i use the socket approach, but since i had seen quite a few topics with the http thing, i kinda wondered if there was any difference at all as i did notice that it indeed did seem simpler, though kinda lacked a few things.

They are both the same.

The http package uses sockets, but provides a simple to use scripting interface.

While the socket approach is the same, it can be tailored to your needs, and usualy involves a lot more work.

It all depends on your needs, file sizes and a few other bits, as to which one is best, however, it would be wise to start out with the package, and learn how it functions.

currently, one of my TCLs uses sockets to get files from a site. ive seen how u can use that http::geturl (or something) to do the same, i think. pretty much i would just like to know if one method is better than the other, or wat r the advantages of the http one. thanks.
