 * Not meaning to rain on the parade, but I think ftpget is a bad name now... 
 * One port (squid) installs /usr/local/bin/ftpget, and I dread the confusion 
 * that this may cause....

Oh no, that's absolutely fine.  I don't care what it's going to be
called at all.

 * Also, since it does both ftp and http fetches, ftpget is an increasingly 
 * inappropriate name..  Could we rename it to something like (say) netget..  
 * (I know, that's a boring and uninspiring name...)

You know what, before posting the original message, I thought (hard)
if there is a better name.  The only ones I came up was "netget" and
"fetch".  I was afraid I'll be laughed off the list so I just used
"ftpget" for the time being.

Now that you volunteered to take the flak, I think I'll change the
name to "netget". :)
