I was not able to test whether these ncsa applications were compatible with the
ppp and packet drivers provided by freedos.
ncsa (national center for supercomputing applications) apps were used in the
1980's by at least one university I know of and I used to use it on a regular
basis to download files. it seems to be oriented towards bootp or static IP's.
it is possible to use an "FTP packet driver". So I am not sure how successful
one would be at using these applications. a working ftp client is sorely
needed.
I was thinking that this and cURL for DOS could be added to the freedos
collection in the net section. ncsa maybe, curl definitely. it has a nice
"free" license but it is not GPL.
cURL for DOS (actually available on every platform)
is available here: http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/index.html but requires some
digging. actually it can be downloaded from
http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman/curl-7.10.5-DOS.zip
curl is like wget except it is much better: it handles a huge number of
protocols, including the popular https (SSL), ftp, etc. it works with
wattcp.cfg and myppp.cfg.

[10^3B=1000B=1KB][10^6B=1000000B=1MB][10^9B=1000000000B=1GB][10^12B=1000000000000B=1TB]

Note: disk size is measured in MB, GB, or TB, not in MiB, GiB, or TiB.
computer memory (RAM) is measured in MiB and GiB.
