By change, also this server provides a `ls-lrRt.txt.gz` file.
Unfurtunaly is as a slightly different (date-) format than the one at
kde.org:
kde:
drwxr-xr-x 3 ftpadmin packager 6 2000-10-01 14:07 adm
gnu:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 2 2003 third-party
Also by chance ftp.gnu.org also provides a file `find.txt.gz`, listing
all files, including the full path:
./video/Stephen_Fry-Happy_Birthday_GNU-nq_600px_425kbit.ogv
./old-gnu/g77/g77-0.5.21.tar.gz
./old-gnu/guile
./old-gnu/guile/guile-www-1.0.1.tar.gz
./old-gnu/guile/guile-1.3.2.tar.gz
> At worst, we’ll parse HTML index files like the one at

This is what Ihis bug is about :-) Please mind the query-parameters one
can pass to apache: <https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/?F=0> is much more terse.
