Why do you think "rget" isn't in the ftp client?
The answer isn't technical, it's political.

People, PLEASE BE CAREFUL about where and when you point this thing.
If you point it at us, please do so during the daytime.
Everyone wants their mail delivered at night, so we're busy then.

Yes, that's right, almost a gigabyte. Some others even have more.
