Hey, pure-ftp is an ftp server program. To download ftp links you can use firefox etc, or use the fireftp plugin for additional ftp features. If you want a dedicated GUI ftp client, gftp comes on the suse CDs. I like the command line ncftp client, also on the suse CDs. You can download filezilla 3.0 beta for linux as well, that's a nice ftp client.
