You can use nohup, with ftp or wget (/usr/ports/net/wget). Instead of ftp, use nohup ftp, proceed as usual, use prompt and mget to get several files without confirmation, make sure the downloading has started, then disconnect: the ftp should continue. With wget, or with ftp <url> for a single file, you can just put an & at the end of the command, the thing will be put in the background and you can disconnect whenever you like without disturbing it.
