I also thought of a similar solution but this requires more changes as
there are some "while(free_one)" loops which would run forever in this
special case. I will try to come up with a better solution ASAP.

I'm also thinking about some other changes to the cache system because
in some cases caching a remote file isn't really necessary. Currently
the remote.c code asks the ftp.c code for the data which writes it to a
cache file. remote.c reads it from there and returns it to the user.
Giving the data directly to the user when the ftp code got some bytes
doesn't work with this procedure.
This is especially interesting for the write support for ftp from the
Zemljanka Commander team. I tested it and although it works, it doesn't
run smoothly because of the cache.

I still need to think about a solution but it doesn't have the highest
priority on the todo list :-)

Sure, I can do it. Version 0.9.4 or 0.9.5? We are running out of version
numbers, only 6 left before 1.0.0 :-)
