Description AnarCat 2001-09-23 19:40:01 UTC 
The fetch(1) utility (used mainly to fetch ports distfiles) features a
display of the current progress of the download. 

When you put fetch(1) in background, it keeps on clobbering the terminal
with that status, which is really annoying. ftp(1) on the other hand,
gracefully checks if it's the foreground process before doing that.

Some might consider this a feature, I call it a bug. :)

Fix: I stole the code from ftp(1), so there should be any problems...
How-To-Repeat: 
$ fetch ftp://ftp11.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/Latest/samba.tgz &
