Usually, I used 'at' and a background ftp to get files for me if I got
caught by the traffic.

The following example is good for UNIX environment.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Firstly, write a shell script file like

file: getfile.ftp
------------------------------------
ftp -n omnigate.clarkson.edu << EOF
user ftp username@
prompt
bin
cd pub/msdos/djgpp/pub
get fsdb091a.zip
quit
EOF
exit
---------------------------------------

and then, just type command like

at 10:00<return>
sh getfile.ftp<return>
<ctrl-D>

If you cannot use at on your system, ask your system administrator, or
use 'nohup sleep <# of seconds>; sh getfile.ftp &' to do it.
