- DOWNLOAD A FILE
- ===============
-
- If you chose this option from the download main menu, you may enter the
- filename you wish to download using global filename characters, such as '*'
- and '?'. So if you enter, say, "*.PAS", you will be given the option of
- downloading all matching files in the current directory.
- After you specify a file, you will be given information on that file,
- such as the description, who uploaded it, and when it was upload, as well
- as the file length. The approximate transfer time is also given, although
- this is usually an over-estimate if you have a good connection.
- You will then be asked what transfer protocol to use. Hit '?' for a list
- of protocols. If you do not wish to download this file, hit '0' to skip this
- file, or 'Q' to abort any other files following this with the same filespec.
- If you decide to download the file with a batch protocol, hit '*'. It
- will be added to a "queue." When you wish to download the files marked for
- batch protocol, from the download main menu hit "B". You will then have the
- option of downloading those files.
