Thanks for this information. I downloaded Go!zilla, and tried to "leech" the file until the ftp server allows me in.

Then it found 4 ftp sites:

 ftp.oracle.com
 ftp.comp.hkbu.edu.hk
 ftp.sci-mov.ru
 ftp.task.gda.pl

Not sure how this thing works internally. Is this trying to get this file from all the sites? Is it trying to figure out which site is fastest and get it from there? If that is the case, obviously, the fastest site is the russian site, which runs between 0.2 - 1.5 k/s.... At this speed, I'll get the file downloaded in...err, let me calculate this.... in 4 days :)... and by that time, I probably don't need it anymore.

What the heck, I'll just let it run on an old Windows box that no one is using.

If only this thing runs on Linux too :)
