May I suggest lynx!  Just ssh or telnet into your server and download
with lynx.  It works great!  


cd to the directory where you want the package


lynx http://www.php.net/downloads.php


Arrow down to the package you want to download.


Type  d  for download


Select   Save to disk


Hit Enter to accept the suggested filename, or change it as you see
fit.


Type  q   for quit, answer y (or enter) to Are you sure.


There it is...

It would be nice if the php.net download page had a list of ftp download sites as well 
as a geographical list of locations.

For those of us like me who run a site remotely (I'm in Australia but my servers are 
in the US), we'd like to be able to ftp the latest source from somewhere close to 
where our servers are.  As it stands, I have to either search thru the countries on 
the d/l page for an ftp location, or download it via http, then ftp it to my US sites.

No real problem.. but it would be nice :)
