There are no questions. The TCP protocol cannot deal with changing IP addresses. Changing IP address breaks *every* application (except possibly some UDP based protocols that can deal with loss and changing IPs..., something like mosh). Some might fallback to reconnecting transparently, but I think most don't (especially downloads in web browsers don't or didn't last I checked). This is *not* a working internet connection. That said, there is *no* reason to use the ftp method. It is *dead*. Do *not* use it. Do use http, instead. The http method might transparently reconnect, but in the general case: a connection that reconnects more often than a few hours (that is, during transfer) is not supported. -- Debian Developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev When replying, only quote what is necessary, and write each reply directly below the part(s) it pertains to (`inline').
