Do you have any tips for making this script even more effective, as I still cannot scrape. I'm am confident though, that cURL has got to be the solution I've been looking for.

I just created some applications using Curl e.g. to login to ssl-sites and to scrap some affiliate statistics, but i didn't know about that' possible to set the user-agent. Although to Ping a site the system("ping... command is much faster than using curl. Cool Tip!
