Hi everyone,
I hope you will allow this forwarded announcement. There are significant
improvements in the latest version of lftp that I think all of us who
transfer files over the network will be at least a little interested in.
;>
If you have absolutely no interest in lftp, please accept my apologies for
wasting your bandwidth with this e-mail. As of yet, Debian's unstable tree
is not yet updated with this version. I presume (but am not sure) that
RPMs can be downloaded somewhere (for those using RPM-based distros or who
like using alien on Debian).
--> Jijo
