on any macupdate or versiontracker website like
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/28750/fruux
I’d like to be able to tell Safari to download the fruux (appl) with a script.
Is it possible?

try this…

activate application "Safari"
open location "http://www.macupdate.com/download.php/28750/download"

or this…

activate application "Safari"
open location "https://api.fruux.net/download/fruux.prefPane.zip"

this works too…

set the clipboard to "https://api.fruux.net/download/fruux.prefPane.zip"
activate application "Safari"
tell application "System Events"
	tell process "Safari" to keystroke "l" using {command down, option down}
	keystroke "v" using {command down}
end tell
