Fletch is a non-interactive FTP/HTTP client-agent designed to perform in bandwidth-deficient environments. It maintains a queue of jobs that are executed when a connection is available. Job states are maintained and a job is retried till it completes or dies of a permanent error. Fletch carefully minimizes network usage by resuming incomplete downloads wherever possible. (FTP and HTTP 1.1)

Fletch is a job handler and a request processing engine. The job handler accepts user requests for URLs and maintains a queue job objects for these requests. The processing engine goes through the entries on the job
queue and processes them according to their priority levels.

Requirements:
You'd need perl5 and the following perl modules/package from your nearest
CPAN mirror.
LWP
Net::FTP
Persistence::Object::Simple
Once you have these modules installed on your system, run the INSTALL
script.
