libcurl was the first thing i tried. But it's callbeck based shit. It's ok
for gui tools and such. But for it doesn't seems really usable.
Last night i reimplemented the needed stuff. So now no more ftplib. But
i still need to fix seeking (Interuptting the transfert hang sometime ):
and i'll send the new patch.
