Sorry about that. When I tested it (just before sending
my message), I did a HTTP query (which worked) instead of
a FTP query (which doesn't).
FTP query:
--------------------------------------------------------
<$>wget ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/slackware/
Connecting to ftp.nluug.nl[192.87.102.36]:21
wget: RETR: Failed to open file.
--------------------------------------------------------
HTTP query:
----------------------------------------------------------
<$>wget http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/slackware/
Connecting to ftp.nluug.nl[192.87.102.36]:80
index.html 100% |********************************| 3290

In most cases it is possible to get around this
by putting http:// instead of ftp://
It appears that the BL3 wget automatically
does a RETR when it processes ftp://
This doesn't happen when it processes http://
