+		ProZilla the Download Accelerator for Linux
+                              GUI 2.04 Release
+                ============================================
+
+Welcome, gentle reader.
+
+ProZilla is a download accelerator for Linux which gives you a 200% to
+300% improvement (or possibly more depending on your connection) in your
+file downloading speeds.
+ 
+Features:
+Supports FTP
+Supports HTTP including redirection. 
+Proxy servers supported.
+Resume Supported.
+Improved error checking and correction.
+Complete acceleration: The file will be downloaded as fast as possible as
+your bandwidth allows. 
+FTP passwords can be specified with the URL, or can be obtained
+automatically from the .netrc if it exists.
+The number of connections that prozilla uses can be changed.
+
+***NEW**
+Now the downloads are ALL to a SINGLE file. There is no downloading to 
+individual files as was done previously.
+Multiple server based downlaoding is supported  based on ftpsearch and 
+ping results obtaines for a URL prozilla will attempt to make multiple 
+connections to different servers and try to speed up the download even 
+more. 
+
+
+1. Configuring
+--------------
+Please type,
+./configure
+from the ProZilla directory to configure the package.
+
+Typing ./configure --help, will show you the various options that you can
+use to change the configuration process.
+
+2. Building
+----------- 
+Once the configuration process is finished, please type 
+make 
+to start the compilation of the package.
+
+3. Installing
+-------------
+If the make process was successful, then you can install it by typing
+make install
+which will install the binaries in the /usr/local/bin directory by default.
+If you wish another directory, you can change this with the --prefix option
+supplied to configure.
+
+If you wish that the binaries be stripped too (reduces the size), please
+type
+make install-strip
+
+
+4. Running
+----------
+Running:
+The syntax will be,
+proz <URL>
+where URL is the file you wish to download.
+
+For example,
+proz  ftp://gnu.org/pub/README
+will connect to to the server gnu.org and start the download of the file
+README from the pub directory.
+
+If you want ProZilla to use a different username or password for ftp sessions,
+than the default anonymous login, you can specify it in the command line, or
+if you have a .netrc file, it will automatically select the appropriate
+username password combination for the particular host, otherwise it will use
+the default anonymous login.
+
+
+A small note
+------------
+ProZilla was written by Kalum Somaratana (aka Grendel) <kalum@genesys.ro>
+For the complete list of the people who were kind enough to contribute to
+ProZilla please read the CREDITS file and the AUTHORS file.
+
+It was written to fulfill the need of a good quality download accelerator
+for Linux, which would allow users (especially the people with slow dialup
+connections) to download files as fast as possible as their connection
+would allow. 
+
+For Windoze users there already existed a good download accelerator but
+for Linux users unfortunately there wasn't much of a choice, and we hope
+that ProZilla will improve that situation considerably.
+
+Although we have taken great pains to test this application extensively,
+there probably may be a few bugs :(, since this is the first major
+release. However if you come across them we kindly request you to inform
+us <prozilla@genesys.ro> and we will make sure that they will be
+removed from the next release.
+
+We sincerely hope that you will like the download accelerator..
+Enjoy!
+
