Hi Jim,

sorry no - I don't want to run an anonymous ftp server as well.
But can't you use wget?

E.g., create a file "pkg.list" with the list of the rpms:

===8<===========================================================
XFree86-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-libs-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-twm-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-xdm-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-xf86cfg-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-xfs-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-Xnest-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-Xvfb-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-tools-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-base-fonts-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-cyrillic-fonts-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-devel-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-doc-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-font-utils-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-ISO8859-15-100dpi-fonts-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-ISO8859-15-75dpi-fonts-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-ISO8859-2-100dpi-fonts-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-ISO8859-2-75dpi-fonts-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-ISO8859-9-100dpi-fonts-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-ISO8859-9-75dpi-fonts-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
XFree86-truetype-fonts-4.2.1-24.i386.rpm
=================================================================

and then run

wget -B http://www.sfu.ca/acs/security/linux/7.3/RPMS/ -i pkg.list

Should work like a charm.

Cheers,
Martin
