+=== 9^DOWNLOAD <url>^Download a file into local_data
+This command is a direct replacement for the unix 'wget -Qn' command
+that is used to download files like badip, spot data, user databases
+like usdb. It is designed to work either on the command line in a console
+or (more likely) in the crontab, like the example below:
+
+24 * * * * run_cmd('download http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torexit')
+24 * * * * run_cmd('download http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.torrelay')
+24 * * * * run_cmd('download http://www.dxspider.net/download/badip.global')
+25 * * * * run_cmd('load/badip')
+
+If you do use the crontab then *please* use a random minute between 15-40
+and not all use minute 24.
+
+Windows users may well find this particularly useful.

 This is how you send a DX Spot to other users. You can, in fact, now
 enter the <freq> and the <call> either way round.
