Downloading a frequently changing file

January 24th, 2020

Guys, there is a file on a server which changes frequently. In a hour or two. I need to download and maintain all the changes. I have checked IDM’s periodic synchronization, it just downloads the newer version to replace the older version. But I need to keep the older version to compare changes. Any ideas?
Answer #1
Just rename the older versions to something else.
Answer #2
Try running a bat file every 2 hours to rename the file that’s downloaded. Use the Windows task scheduler
Answer #3
Check for the hash code.

I need to maintain the files for 24 hours. Anyway to rename the file each time it is downloaded? I mean 23 unique names.
