LFTP 3.7.3

If you exit lftp when some jobs are not finished yet, lftp will move itself to nohup mode in background. The same happens when you have a real modem hangup or when you close an xterm.lftp has shell-like command syntax allowing you to launch several commands in parallel in background. It is also possible to group commands within () and execute them in background.
