The program will connect to an FTP server, download a specified text file, process it, then insert the records into a text file.
It is important that it does not stress the MySQL server at all, so in addition it should have an option that will allow the time between records so that it doesn't all happen at once.
It should also process and create all the inserts before making them, hence to make everything a little more streamlined. It is very important that this does NOT slow down the MySQL database in a very noticible way.
This program must run on Windows 2000/XP, should be able to run minimized, and must be VERY reliable.
There are detailed specs AND a sample demo of the program attached.
