Multiple FTP download using Muliti thread

I have taken a look at the code that dose one download at time, in
multi threaded manner:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo.../Recipe/465531

What I wanted to do is, make it download multiple files at the same
time. I am new to python and have gone over "Dive In To Python"
yesterday. Can some give a idea what I need to do. Once I understand
the big picture, then I can piece together.

Also noteworthy: "This recipe was accepted for inclusion in Py2.5.", i. e.
in Python 2.5 you can use Queue instead of TaskQueue.

When I run the following script, with host and password and username
changed, I get the following errors:
raise error_temp, resp
error_temp: 421 Unable to set up secure anonymous FTP

Dose the host should allow 4 simultaneous login at a time?

It works using ftp.microsoft.com. But where does it put the downloaded
files? can I specify a download folder location?

It places the ftp downloaded contents on the same folder as the this
ftp python script. How do I set a diffrent download folder location?

by prepending a directory name to the filename in the open(p, 'wb') call.

Ok I fixed it. Needed to put in username, and password in the c.login
inside while True loop.

while True:
host, e = tq.get()

c = ftplib.FTP(host)
c.connect()
try:
c.login()
p = posixpath.basename(e)
fp = open('H:/eclipse/workspace/src/ftp_download/' + p,
'wb')
