RemoteFiles.jl User Survey

[helgee]

Hi folks,

I am planning to overhaul my RemoteFiles.jl package. If you are currently using the package, I would like to know which backends you are using. I am uncertain whether the different backends are still needed or could be fully replaced by Downloads.jl.

If you have any other feedback or feature requests, fire away

My plan is to include the following new features:

• Downloads.jl support
• Scratch.jl support
• Mirror URLs

Thanks in advance!

Which RemoteFiles.jl backends are you using?

• cURL
• wget
• HTTP.jl

And another more specific question: Do you have problems with the cURL backend and if yes, what kind of problems?

All that I need is to make sure FTP sources work
