For people who might not be using Firefox you might want to check out
FileZilla.  This is a very good, free program; the URL is:
http://filezilla-project.org.  You will want the client - not the server. 

I use FileZilla at work a lot, but until Martin's message hadn't thought of
using it for grabbing the Elecraft betas.  (Martin - thanks for jogging my
memory!)

Once installed you can set it up using the File/Site Manager... menu
selection.

The way I have mine set up is that I start the program; hit a drop down for
"my sites"; and select my Elecraft beta entry.  It connected to
ftp.eleectraft.com; goes to K3/firmware/beta and in another pane displays
the local folder where I will be copying everything to.  From there it's
just drag and drop!
