Bram,
By default, the "spellfile retrieval" functionality uses an ftp url to
fetch the spellfiles. Since ftp is more problematic than http (passive
vs. active connections), it seems useful to try to use a non-ftp
protocol. The attached patch sets the default spellfile URL to an http
url if the wget or curl commands are available. Otherwise, the current
behavior is preserved.
