I second the advice to switch to curl. Intensive testing has proved to
us that URLAS, our friend on OS9, is not reliable. Against a big file,
or against a zillion small files, it will eventually error. curl won't.

Hi all, I've been using AppleScript's URL Access Scripting to
download images from the admin area of a "print your digital photos"
website.
The relevant folder on the website requires authentication, so I
send the username and password in the URL:
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
download "http://user:email@hidden/file.jpg"; to <local
folder> replacing yes
end tell
This has been working fine for a while, however recently we've
increased the maximum file upload size on the website to 50megs and
problems have started to occur.
It would seem that URL Access Scripting can download files up to
about 25 megs, but with large files it gives up half way through.
Does anyone know if there is a set limit to the size of file URL
Access Scripting can handle?
We're on Leopard (not snow Leopard) by the way.
Many thanks for any help you can provide,
James
