+1. I am aware that there are windows nodes out there on mojo (brave, impetuous 
+   that you are) and wget is not an easy option to download badip files. So, 
+   through the power of mojo I give you the new 'download' command. As it 
+   stands at the moment, it will download a file from a webserver and place
+   it in /spider/local_data. If it downloads successfully, it will overwrite
+   any file with that name in /spider/local_data. Needless to say this is a 
+   sysop only command.

+   would be an obvious use. But it can also be used to download spot, USDB 
+   and other data as well. If you do use it then you will still need to 
+   do a spawn_cmd in crontab for the conversion programs, but that too is 
+   going to change.

 1. Fix odd (and old) regression dx command (line ending 59+++) '++' being the 
    culprit.
