Hey, that's strange... I got an "REST request/command not supported" error.
Hmmm, I'd try again if I hadn't, by virtue of being extremely lucky I guess,
been able to download GeomView yesterday (It took from 9:30 in the morning till
2:45 in the afternoon!!!). 
Hmmm, maybe I'll still try again just to make sure my ftp contains no bugs
and if it doesn't make sure what I was doing wrong :)

Thanks a lot for your help.

Kind regards,
   Tako
