Summary:                    Include LFTP on ISO
Description: 
LFTP was previously included on ISO's and has been invaluable to me in the
past. Many of the features I use are the ability to browse HTTP/SFTP with
FTP-like directories, grabbing several files with the mget command
regardless of the protocol used, download continuation (m?get -c
<arg(s)>), and on-the-fly download speed throttling (set net:limit-rate
<bytes>).

Also, the ability to interrupt downloads bash-style (ctrl+z) and move them
to the background to do other tasks and later use fg <task>, is extremely
useful. Another useful feature is viewing remote files via less <file>
without having to download and save them locally (e.g. less README).

Just the broad range of protocols that lftp supports is quite valueable:
ftp, ftps, http, https, hftp, fish, sftp, and file. LFTP also supports
proxies, which can be useful if a person needs to SCP a file from behind a
corporate firewall with a proxy only.
