[plug] FTP clients

[Richard Meyer]

I never thought of that, somehow. I was trying (for some reason) not to
use a browser.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm trying to download stuff as large as
an iso approximately, so I'd like to be able to resume downloads (I
don't know whether this does), so I think I'll try a "dedicated ftp"
client.

Thanks.

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
