Normally, if I want to check out how big a page is before committing
to download it, I use
wget -S --spider URL
You might give this as a tip in the docs.

However, for FTP it doesn't get one the file size.  At least for
wget -S --spider ftp://ftp.sunsite.dk/projects/wget/windows/wget-1.9.1b-complete.zip

Of course one need only get the directory to see the size.

P.S.

H> only ask for confirmation once pr envelope-sender.
