I tried the first one, but the problem was that it couldn't reliably handle 
stalled connections, i.e. where the connection succeeded, but the remote 
server has stopped sending data.

I've just looked up set_time_limit() which appears to have the ability to 
reset the time limit. I'll see about adding some form of status bar and a few 
set_time_limit calls tomorrow.

Argh, and it looks like DigiKey have "updated" their website again, so my 
data-scraper has stopped working. Fun...
