Ken,

Because this is a once-only (perhaps twice) download of spatial data files.
The files are ~1.5-3.5GB in size and take about 30 minutes each to download.

I worked on already available data yesterday and decided to get the next 8
files overnight. The shell script called wget for each file and I let it do
its thing after I logged off for the evening.

Regards,

Rich
