Not always possible, with so many sites now using HTTP landing pages to
initiate downloads.  It can be very hard to find the direct URL, if there is
one.  My point was HTTP can be a real pain when dealing with large files on an
iffy network connection.  Oh, and resume doesn't seem to work when your end
thinks it has the whole file. :(
