I have been trying to ftp the 4.5-install.iso file and keep getting the
download interrupted. I read in the questions archives about using the
FBSD command fetch as a replacement for FTP because it has resume
capabilities to continue the download at the spot the downloaded file
was interrupted. The man page info is very vague about how to use the
fetch command.

I am currently using this command in a script

ftp -a -v
ftp11.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.5/4.5-install.iso

When I modify this command to this

fetch -arvAF
ftp11.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.5/README

I get this error message
fetch: README: Invalid URL scheme

Questions

What is wrong with my fetch command?

Can I run all the flags together behind one -?

Am I using the correct flags?

Will this group of flags work for both the original download and the resume
download?

How does fetch know to resume a download where it left off?
