The BCX,basic to WIN32 LCC translator  has a neat function that will  
perform this task.
RetValue% = DOWNLOAD(Url$,Fil$)

I have written a routine that will extract the Parts in the Encyclopedia. 
See

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/B2LCC/files/Download%20Url%20files/

for the basic, c and executable code. This code allows you to specify a 
range of Parts
to download. You will have to download to a working folder as on line it 
executes but not correctly.
Anyone not trusting Yahoo for download, let me know and I will email an 
attachment which your
virus scanner can check.  I would assume you could follow the C code and do 
your own thing.
The call is to URLMON.DLL to perform the work.

It is interesting that some ranges of sequences go quite fast while others 
are slow. I guess it is
the bulk of the submissions. actuall a crude sequence could be made of the 
bytes in each part
if it hasn't already been done.

Have fun pre-10^5 sequences. Is 10^6 out of realm?
