I am sitting behind a firewall, which for some reason does not allow me to ftp this stuff. If there is a 'single' tar.gz file or a few 'tar.gz' files of directories such as include,src,lib etc, then that will help easy download using netscape browser. Downloading each of these split files is clearly pain. BTW, i was able to download NetBSD or OPENBSD this way. Is there a similar mechanism for FREEBSD?
