There's nothing wrong with fetch, it seems to be a nice program.  :-)  It 
would be nice to see a bandwidth meter like <lukem@netbsd.org>'s ftp program 
has (at least if fetch is attached to a tty and disabled if running as a 
script/nohup'ed/etc).

Or a way of setting the maximum bandwidth permitted for fetch to use.
