This is a good way to get yourself banned from FTP servers.  Getright
has a tendency, at least in its default configuration, to be very
unfriendly to the people who are donating bandwidth to the project, by
downloading many sections of a large file simultaneously, hogging
connection slots and bandwidth that should go to other users.  For
this reason it is banned from ftp5.freebsd.org.
