I think Achim's suggestion is excellent. Each downloader (prozilla,
bsdftp,wget) should install a script into /usr/lib/portage/bin called
{app}.fetch. It can be written in any language (C,python,bash) as
long as it can be called from the command-line. It should accept one
or more URLs as arguments. Do we need any command-line options?
Maybe a --passive option to force a passive ftp session? Right now
there are ftp servers that are passive only, and others that are active
only. Maybe we need some new URL types: ftpa:// ftpp:// ?
Best Regards,
