Thanks for the feedback Donovan,
My concern is that Automator let's users chain actions
together - so
my little piece will download and then basically pass them
on to the
next link - which could do anything with them. They're
effectively
detached from my main app at that point and I want to try
and make
sure some link back to the original, and the license,
exists.
