% This is a very rudimental way for downloading files from the Project
% Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org).
% If you know of a more elegant/efficient way to obtain the same result
% and you want to share I would greatly appreciate it. If you can show me
% how to do the same (or better) in a different programming language (C,
% Java, etc.), I will greatly appreciate it.
