Hello all,

This is indeed a very friendly list. This week i posted a question about startx command and i got 5-6 answers. Thank you all!

Now i want some recommendation on this too.

I use ftp a lot for downloading. In the linux world i used kbear, gftp, ncftp and Iglooftp (this is a commercial gtk-based ftp client) but all miss a feature that it is very essential for me. I want the ftp client to close my dial-up connection when all the files i wanted have been downloaded (i really need this because sometimes i have things downloading all night meanwhile i go to sleep. This is the only way to download big and many files if you are on a slow connection.).

Anyway, is there such a ftp client with this feature? downloads all night while i go to sleep)

There's ncftpget in ncftp which you could run as ncftpget ftp.server.com/file local-file && killall pppd -- Stephen Patterson Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
