I'm finding that the URL Access Scripting "download" command doesn't
work. For example, the included script "Download Weather Map.scpt":

set weather_map to "acttemp_720x486.jpg" -- temperatures
set weather_map to "curwx_720x486.jpg" -- surface isobars

set the target_URL to "http://maps.weather.com/images/maps/current/";
& weather_map
set the destination_file to ((path to desktop as string) & "weathermap.jpg")

tell application "URL Access Scripting"
download target_URL to file destination_file replacing yes
end tell

tell application "Finder" to open alias destination_file


... just hangs on the "download" command.

Your script works fine for me in OS X 10.2.8. The download didn't stutter and the script executes quickly.
