Dan,

   This is not a good way to ask a question on a dev list.  While often 
people are willing to give pointers, they are _not_ going to want to do 
your work for you.

Go read:

If you still don't know how to ask your question, mail me off list and 
I'll give you some pointers on a good question to ask (and where to ask 
it).

Dan - I assume you know that you only need wget for internal DataDirect 
use.  Your options are:

Switch to mythfilldatabase and a locally patched tv_grab_dd to use 
curl, or

If you're building a MacOS application bundle, simply include wget in 
that bundle and use it.

Be well,

Will          :-}
