Real-time Sunlight Wallpaper
 
I would like to thank everyone for their support. All day yesterday and today I was getting bugfixes and suggestions about this latest problem with wget command. I quite nice to see the community giving feedback on something you created.

As you may think this may not be a long term solution as perhaps die.net may block curl also. I haven't heard back from them yet. If possible I'm going to try to work with them and try to find a solution.

I mention on the last post also that I'm looking at other long term solution like using an external server to download the maps to, and RSW to point at those images instead but all this will take a bit more time.

Thank's again for your feedback and support

I think your best long term solution is to get your own server. and access to die.net only your own server.

Please note that curl is not installed by default on Linux Mint 10. Linux Mint users need to install it manually first.
