Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't mess around with shell stuff too much in OS X, but I found something interesting that lets you grab web stuff using the command line. You'd call it like:
/usr/local/bin/links -dump "http://somewebpage.com"
What is this 'links' thing? I don't have that file (at least at that location).

What do we know about Go-Daddy? I'm thinking of using them to renew my domain name, mostly because I detest Network Solutions and they're LOTS cheaper.

I use them - for domains they are fine. Don't let them talk you into using their hosting service. In general when you buy from them they try a fairly hard sell to get you to buy other services; ignore this and they are great for domains as far as I'm concerned.
I'm not the only one. I think several people on this board uses go-daddy. But you might also check your hosting service. A lot of hosting services offer domains at competitive prices.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I agree with Typo. I also use them for domains and domains only and have been happy with them in that aspect. But I would not use them for hosting.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
go-daddy are fine. I use dotster who are also good.
I used to use network solutions and I remember them making it very very VERY difficult for me to leave them. This was 5 years ago; hopefully things are different now.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
/usr/local/bin/links -dump "http://somewebpage.com"
Anything in /usr/local is something that has been installed locally on that system. It's not something that comes with Mac OS X.

Why not use GoDaddy for hosting? I ask because I am, and have had no problem with them, but I'm wondering now if I should be braced for something.

links is a text based web browser, handy if you need to browse in a SSH shell or something.
wget is also a handy utility to grab files from the web.
wget [link to file on the web]
wget might be a default utility, it is in most all Linux and FreeBSD distributions, but I don't know about OS/X
