SchedLeech is a small Win9x / ME / 2000 / XP / Vista / Windows 7 utility that downloads a file from the internet (http protocol) in fixed intervals and stores it to the local hard disk. When minimized, SchedLeech resides in the system tray. The user can edit the referrer, select a user agent, format the output filename by time/date freely or based upon a bunch of templates.
