Put a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d which reads a file (say, ~/download/download.files), which has a newline separated list of files to download. Each line gets passed to wget. > Similarly, is there an offline news sender program?

I use leafnode. I don't see how being late is going to make a difference of choosing offline news sender program. They would all basically be sending at the same time, since you have a limited connection time. -- John L.
