This version makes 'authentication with username' upon
connection with username, verbose, and adds the -f
option to control the number of headers to fetch at a
time.
The first steps towards threading were taken by
adding semaphore includes, adding the -t option to
control the number of threads, and moving the
normal fetch cycle to a function call. On
decoding, the file pointer is now closed and the
file is removed right away. An existing tmp-dir no
longer causes failure. progress_sub was disabled.
Cleanup is now performed when done, removing the
tmp-dir and waiting for the threads to finish.
Spelling corrections were made.
A quiet option was added, which will cause the program to only output filenames upon retrieval. A failsafe was added for argument parsing to catch unrecognized arguments. The alternative (and faster) ydecoder was added. CRC checking was added for ydecoded parts, which should fix up an aberrant error invoked under RedHat's perl 5.8 when 'binmode()' isn't set on a file-handler.
