The Powergrab website is no longer there. Grabit is easy to find and
still being developed.

As I stressed in my OP, don't bother looking around. Grabit is the best.

Now if you want to UPLOAD instead of download, that's a whole 'nother
issue. About the only game around for uploading is Yenc PowerPost A&A
v11b. Unfortunately, that program was developed by the same person who
wrote PowerGrab. Both programs are (TTBOMK) no longer being developed.
You would have to search for a download because the home page is no
longer around.

I still have a copy of the installation file for YENC Powerpost though,
and could post it in ABF, unless anybody knows of a reason why I shouldn't.
