ok, i'll clarify
NutScrape may not work for the same reason lynx failed for you

redhat server says the file is text/plain so both netscape and lynx
fail if you view the file and than save it to a local file.
If you Shift-click on netscape or press 'd' on lynx it should work.

i don't give a damn about the load on redhat http server, but i don't
like receiving tons of mails saying that the patch from mingo site fails for them.

P.S. someone could suggest mingo gzips the blasted patches :

I need some clarification on this.  I couldn't make lynx work, it chopped
off long lines or something.  wget works, I've never heard of the other two.
Why exactly is NetScrape bad?  That server load thing sounds fishy to me...

We are not worried about you.  We are worried about mingos FTP
server.  If you access an FPT server with Netscape it puts a much
greater load on the server than if you access it with a plain
old ftp client.
