You might want to get FTP Explorer-- It accesses FTP Sites directly and is
faster that browser FTP. I checked the Omega Site for Signal Intra-day
Indices and it listed all files 970102 thru 981006 --
When setting up your Connect dialog, you may want to use Omega's direct IP
for their FTP Site: 209.149.196.3
It gets through faster and avoids DNS referencing.
The Site for FTP Explorer is http://www.ftpx.com but I couldn't get through
a while ago -- you may need to do a search for FTP Explorer to find an
alternate Site.
