Is there some kind of FTP/HTTP proxy server that will act as a download manager for certain types of files (e.g. zip/gz/tar/mp3 etc) but pass through files that don't match that filter (so I can browse the web/FTP sites quickly)?
You could write one in perl fairly easily. See the HTTP::Daemon module in libwww. If you give me a few days, I can probably come up with something for you, let me know.
