But I don't think that's the case here. every ftp site uses some obscure mechanism like accounts. normally the account is ftp or anonymous and due to the session management in ftp sessions the connections live too long, mostly, and therefor the resource you are requesting might be unavailable very often due to session count and login limitations. therefor ftp is pretty crappy to fetch small files (eg. <100k). /k -- > Motto of the Electrical Engineer: > Working computer hardware is a lot like an erect penis: it > stays up as long as you don't fuck with it.
