Looks interesting, and since we have MD5 checking, having the FTPSearch
functionality will be "safe". :)

Care to release a sorcery-devel which gives us the option of using wget or
ProZilla? Or perhaps just move sorcery-devel _to_ ProZilla and have us
test it? ;) That's what devel is for, yes?

We'll also want to look into how much more|less overhead (CPU, RAM,
bandwidth) ProZilla uses compared to wget + netselect and add some of it's
features to the sorcery menu (i.e. "Max # of servers to d/l from", "Max
bandwidth" (already in there for wget; is the max bandwidth per connection
or overall?), etc.)
