Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist The homepage of frox is http://frox.sourceforge.net/ It is a transparent ftp proxy which is released under the GPL. Current version is 0.6.6 but it is usable. It also has some support for caching through an external cache (eg. squid), or for maintaining a cache locally. frox is being actively worked on upstream. The package ftp-proxy is the only other packaged proxy im aware of that understands the ftp protocol (maybe apt-proxy does as well?)... ftp-proxy has a number of old problems and it doesnt look like its being worked on upstream. I think having a good ftp proxy is important for debian to leaverage the value of existing ftp proxgrams, including apt-get. Glenn
