I'm just wondering why curl is so quick to give up on a TCP
reset (after 21 sec). Wget gives up after 5 times and approx. 2 min, wink,
wink. Somebody should try this slow server:

curl --retry 5 --retry-max-time 1000 -v -o openssl.tgz ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/openssl-SNAP-20110128.tar.gz
* Couldn't find host ftp.openssl.org in the _netrc file; using defaults
* About to connect() to ftp.openssl.org port 21 (#0)
* Trying 195.30.6.166... % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
                                 Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed

curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection was reset
