However, I had some problems with 1.04p1, so I updated from the latest available at the author's site at <ftp://subzero.campus.luth.se/pub/spegla/>, and just discovered that <ftp://subzero.campus.luth.se/pub/spegla/>; hasn't been updated yet. I noted a number of new features, highlighted by the CHANGELOG file: changes since 1.1: * Added --url option to download a directory hierarchy of a ftp-URL * Fixes descriptor leakage when errors downloading files occurs * Fixed bug with space in directory names * Download files to another name first and then rename them. * Fixed problem with permission not getting updated on directories. * Prints average downloadrate together with the other stats. * Works with latest version of wu-ftpd. * Prints stats corectly under Solaris. * Applied patch from Makoto MATSUSHITA <matusita@jp.freebsd.org> that closes down data connection to ftp-server completely before reading status from ftp-server. Thank you. changes since 1.04: * Uses some other data structures in some queues. * Version needs to be declared to 1.1 in config file * Uses regex(3) to match files to skip * Uses a new way to read parameters. * Lots of new options * Cleanup in source and possibly some bugs caught by that. In particular, the following are new for spegla-1.1p4: * Added --url option to download a directory hierarchy of a ftp-URL * Fixes descriptor leakage when errors downloading files occurs * Fixed bug with space in directory names * Download files to another name first and then rename them. I believe that my problems were caused by compatibility issues with certain types of ftp servers. Although I continue to have some problems with certain servers on Windows NT, everything else is working fine. >How-To-Repeat: I'm not quite sure what to put in this section for a change-request. Guidance would be appreciated. >Fix: ftp ftp://subzero.campus.luth.se/pub/spegla/spegla-1.1p4.tar.gz tar zxf spegla-1.1p4.tar.gz cd spegla-1.1p4 make make install mv /usr/local/man1 /usr/local/man/man1/spegla.1.gz >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
