Make sure you have the newest version (the former one didn't handle some
attributes like background). Also it sometimes gets stuck while trying to fetch
a file (as well as netscape does it from time to time). The docs claim this's
fixed in the new release, but it isn't. I run a script from cron that checks
ctime of webcopy's log file and if it's older than some resonable value, kills &
reruns webcopy.
