Download File every 30 minutes?

[lost1]

How would I go about setting up a cron job to download a file from the web and save it to a specific location on my machine every 30 minutes?

Can that be done using just nnCron (and maybe a plugin?) or do I need some additional software to do it?

... and if I can do it with just nnCron and a plugin, what would be the command?

I tried using the http.spf plugin and setting up an HTTP-GET command, but I'm a total n00b to cron stuff, so I'm probably doing it wrong.

Right click nnCron icon in System Tray-> New Task.
Name task.
Choose Minutely, every 30 minutes.
Check Run as logged user option.
Active option must be checked.
Go to Action tab.
Select Run script.
In appeared window write:

Code: Select all

     S" http://www.site.org/your_file.zip" HTTP-GET 0=
     IF
        S" c:\directory\your_file.zip" FWRITE
     ELSE 2DROP THEN

Code from here.
Of course, change address and location to yours.
But it would be better to use download manager to download file.
PS. Read help - everything's written there

Do I have to be running the full version of nnCron? I have the "lite" edition and there is no system tray icon.

Well, yes, that code was for full version. And I can't make my lite version work... But looks like lite-version can't do such task.
So I'll just make advice - download any console download manager (for example, wget) and create task with download manager.
