On Charles Waldman's XEmacs/NT page [1], the URL to download the
XEmacs executable is an HTTP one. In my experience, Netscape is
unreliable in large HTTP downloads [2][3].
The best alternative [4] is to use Go!Zilla, which handles FTP and HTTP
downloads beautifully. Latest version is 3.1. It's an
advertiser-sponsored version.

Of course, I'm talking about Windows programs (Oh blasphemy!)

[2] It opens a download window, but the window goes away when the
download ends, regardless of the success/failure of the
operation. There's no way (AFAIK) to determine whether the
d.l. was successful, other than comparing file sizes.
[3] I'm using NS Communicator 4.5 PR2, the latest beta version. It
was the same with all NS versions. And of course I wouldn't be
caught dead using MSIE for that :-)
[4] I have tried using GetRight, but it didn't work right :-(
