That's really funny. Because once you get xferit you might not
be able to use xferit to get files from ftp.apple.com. Apple has
implemented some kind of ip number lookup to see who you are.
If your network number is not in some database it will not allow a connection.
My mac sits behind a gatorbox and my network number is assigned dynamically.
So there is not entry in the database for my mac. So I have to
use the sun to get files from apple. Its kind of ironic.
