This class is a simple remote downloader with a nice use of AJAX display, however it doesn't make anything fancy, and is not cross-server capable, as it relies on file_get_contents() to retrieve the remote file, which will fail if the server's PHP allow_url_fopen option is disabled. On many web-hosts you will find this option disabled for security reasons, and this class will not work on these servers.

I suggest not to use this class in any distributable software you may develop, as this limitation may create problems to the users of your software, and a lot of support requests in your inbox.
