Hey, I reminded everyone to download them as binary! :-)

=> come on it's quite easy to handle
=> go to http://www.globalscape.com/ and download cute ftp 3.5

=> click okay and connect, and there you go.
=> now you can never go wrong again with downloading from ANY ftp server.
=> this program even can resume broken downloads etc. etc.
=> if you want/need to register ask me and i can mail you the serial for it.

Along with the FTP client mentioned above, M$-Windoze users might also
like to check out GetRight (for which nobody has to mail you the
serial number:), which can be found at http://www.getright.com/.  This
allows extra features such as off-peak programmed transfers,
resumption of aborted transfers; ability to "pause" a download and
resume it later; etc.

Unix users might want to consider a full-featured FTP client such as
ncftp, or the one that comes with NetBSD, both of which allow you to
"reget" a file whose transfer has been interrupted, and continue
transferring where it left off.

The ability to resume transfers is very handy for those using dialup
or unreliable connections.

Cheers,

Paul.
