Bloated desktop environments are the work of The Devil! IMHO, of
course.  But I point to the GUI of the masses (Win*) as supporting
evidence :)

I used lynx for the former and ftp for the latter (or scp, if I
can).  I've heard good things about wget for crawling-type
downloading of www stuff, though.   Of course, lynx -crawl
-traversal  is fun, too.

Disclaimer: My idea of fun may not be your idea of fun :)

It might also be noted that lynx and ftp are GUIs, in a sense. To
that I agree, in a sense, and point to the command-line
alternatives above :)
