Big site; a thousand files or so. I want to download newer files from the ftp server, so DW has to compare dates. It feels like this:
Compare file 1...
Compare file 2...
Compare file 3...
The other week, I wrote a real basic perl script that got the modification dates for files on a totally different ftp server. It grabbed the results of the ftp dir() command, then mashed the dates around offline. It was a heckuva lot faster than whatever DW is doing.
What the hey, DW?
