my hacky way of killing Randall's server:

  curl --limit-rate 40K -O http://imgs.xkcd.com/clickdrag/\[0-100\]\{n,s\}\[0-100\]\{e,w\}.png

Then to remove all the 404s:

  find . -type f -size 345c -exec rm -f {} \;

Woo! No code.

Use "curl -f" and it won't save the 404 output

imgs.xkcd.com seems to point to a CDN, so it's unlikely to kill his server ;)
