Done!

It checks if the user supplies an argument and attempts to open the file if there is one. If it cannot find the file or no arguments are given, it will attempt to open a file with the name "a.txt". If it cannot find "a.txt", it will prompt the user for a file name. If that file is not found either, the program will exit. After reading through a file and downloading everything, it will automatically delete the file it read from.
