yesterday, I have received a link to download some tutorial from china: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1sl993lV. I have performed the download using firefox, but the connection is so bad, there are many failures. I have tried with curl that fails also. A real nightmare. All these problems would not exist if it was a simple ftp link: filezilla is perfectly optimized to work around shitty connections.

And today I learn that ftp is falling in oblivion. What a sad time.
