Except that for a download that I have to restart 5 or 10 times, its
easier to put the url in a file and use wget, or for rsync I put the
whole command line in a file, pound-hack it, chmod +x and away it goes.
If lftp had a download queue that was persistant between invocations, it
would be useful.
