That's good to hear, even better.

I'll change to those powerboxes one day, still need to learn more
about Unix, and I'm inclined to FreeBSD with fvwm but that will
happen when I can install a minimal base system.
I tried PC-BSD but I hate KDE and I like minimal, hate bloated stuff as Vista :D
Besides, love my PowerPro even though it was reported on PowerPro groups to run under wine but I also read that fvwm is
like a crossbred LiteStep with PowerPro, I guess I will now it when I try it.

No, only some images of the city of Lisboa, I just pointed you to
the site, in order to see for yourself some cams.

I already did, in my first post there's two images examples grabbed with WireShark.

The pattern string is:
http:/ /telematica.estradasdeportugal.pt/images/public/*_[A-Z,0-9]_.jpg|flv

I don't know regex so that's the best I can explain.

and when we're actually seeing an image they're like this:
/images/public/Estadio-Nacional-1_TBII0C_376x282.jpg


The reason I'm doing this is because:
1) hate the site, it's heavy and my ~6 years old laptop cpu goes wild
2) I just need some images
3) I'll use the images in a PowerPro bar,
when I click or hover the mouse through a location, the images
will be displayed. (simple, light, fast and the bar only shows when I want)

I've uploaded a screenshot of that bar to the files section. Take a look at it to get an idea of what I'm trying to do.
