Well, there were no guidelines ;-). I used this as a means of
testing the code; one may comment out anything you feel is too much.

Done.

Should this be mentioned in the files.sgml document? Are there
any conventions about what should be printed after Downloading and
Resuming? At the momet, I am printing the remote path. Equally valid
would be the local file name.

I have shortened the messager strings.

Well, let me know what you want left in. And, for future plug
in writers, maybe you should document that in files.sgml or summin.
Oh, and where in the source tree should I place this file?
methods/ftp/ftp.pl? Or what?
