In order to get something working with Red Hat's anaconda's use of
curl --range and FTP servers, I think there are two options:
a) Don't use ABOR at all; download everything. I note that the curl
manpage suggests that this may be the behaviour anyway with some
HTTP/1.1 servers
b) Send ABOR, then close session immediately and re-connect for other
files. I'm not sure why curl maintains a connection to the server in
such a case; as far as I can tell, the command-line --range option can
only be used once anyway, and wouldn't be appropriate for multiple
transfers.
