downloading Emacs using ftpx

[Jean-Benoit MORLA]

Hi

I would like to download Gnu emacs.
At the moment there is a link to a ftp site.
I can't get to this link using Internet Explorer so I tried
downloading and installing ftpx.
I don't know how to enter the url link to the ftp site in ftpx
Can someone help me?
Many thanks for your reply

There are more mirrors for Gnu software than you could shake a stick
at. You might want to try one of these instead.

For instance...


ftp://ftp.cs.univ-paris8.fr/mirrors/ftp.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-21.3.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.cs.univ-paris8.fr/mirrors/ftp.gnu.org/emacs/leim-21.3.tar.gz

should get you a quick download.

Or if you want windows binaries...

ftp://ftp.cs.univ-paris8.fr/mirrors/ftp.gnu.org/emacs/windows/emacs-21.3-fullbin-i386.tar.gz

unless you are on a slow connection in which case...

ftp://ftp.cs.univ-paris8.fr/mirrors/ftp.gnu.org/emacs/windows/emacs-21.3-bin-i386.tar.gz

which is much the same, but 5M smaller.

Cheers
