Fopen to Curl - Needing some help

Hello, I have moved to a new host that does not allow the usage of Fopen, so I am trying to use curl, but I am stuck, I have figured out part of how to get this to work (i think).

This is the original Script

[code] function YMTRipper($URL)
{
$this->URL = $URL;
$this->initURL();

  $f = fopen($URL, "r");
  if($f)
     while($pre = fread($f, 1000))
        $this->source = $this->source.$pre;
  else
  {
     echo 'Unable to open '.$URL.'.';
     return false;
  }          

}[/code]
This is my modified one

[code] function YMTRipper($URL)
{
$c = curl_init($URL);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$f = curl_exec($c);
curl_close($c);

  if($f)

// Here is where I get confused…
// I can’t use Fread as im not using fopen and this is disabled on my //server, However I have to use something in the loop

     while($pre = fread($f, 1000))
        $this->source = $this->source.$pre;  //????
  else
  {
     echo 'Unable to open '.$URL.'.';
     return false;
  }          

}[/code]

So, In the Fopen script it does a looping return of

  $this->source = $this->source.$pre;

Where $pre = fread($f, 1000)

How would I do a simular read with Curl??
