But programs like downloader, wget, lftp and pavuk downloads through http
as well as ftp. Some of them are not DESCRibed as ftp programs either. How
about a filetransfer category instead, or net-transfer? If we were to sort
out all programs in their own categories by protocol, we'd have a lot of
them. Though if we sort them out by their basis functionality it'd be
easier.
