I checked again with https://www.kernel.org/pub, this time by carefully choosing a tar.gz archive. The downloaded file is fine, i.e. no decompression occurs. So why would lftp decompress files from slackbuilds.org server and not from www.kernel.org one? I'm using slackware 14.1 with the default lftp package which version number is 4.4.9. It seems there is no variable http:decode. Here it is: lftp www.kernel.org:/pub/linux/utils/usb/usbutils> set http:decode "false" http:decode: no such variable. Use `set -a' to look at all variables. _______________________________________________ lftp mailing list lftp@uniyar.ac.ru http://univ.uniyar.ac.ru/mailman/listinfo/lftp
