I tried a number of methods and all of them failed EXCEPT using the command-line ftp tool in Windows.  Don't ask me why it works when other FTP client's don't, but there ya go.  I'm too lazy to grab the session logs and see what's actually going wrong right now.

I've had no troubles with Opera, EmFTP, or DOpus. IE has failed though.

I was able to turn off the 'Passive FTP' switch w/ IE 6 and download it that way.

I had to use ftp on linux, wget wouldn't work because the server would go into PASV mode (can't control that w/ wget).

Hmmm, I wonder if the firewall rules changed on the digital mars end of things maybe?

I guess you say this because you like linux/unix or some other useless (in my opinion) crap, but if you done some html/css/javascript you would know that although poor support of web standarts it provides, IE is still the best browser currently. No browser fully supports the web standards. Firefox is struggling to fight IE, but it is light years away. I see they've done alot of good work since mozilla/netscape browsers but it is stull unable to display simple pages. Opera is the only browser that I think has any future. But it is still behind IE (i've not seen opera 8). I mean Firefox will not die but it will always be behind Opera and IE (I hope opposite of course). The bad thing is Opera is not free, firefox is free but extremely slow, resources consuming and poor web standarts support...

I post here usually using Windows 2000, but not with Internet Explorer, or Outlook.
