Right, didn't consider this. As you speak from modules. Does that
mean that cupt uses plugins/modules for each protocol?
If so, it would probably make sense to define an abstraction layer
for error messages. So that the FTP protocol handler can still
say: "Hey, I haven't found the file, but everything else is ok".
Depending on weither you get "File not found" or "Some other error"
you could then decide with the metric I've described.

Well, I don't insist on anything, but I think it would improve your software.
I somehow learned that a lot of useless warnings reduce the usefulness
of *every* warning, because over time people get trained to ignore warnings at 
all.
