downloading via FTP method

[Pat Downey <cdep@vianet.net.au>]

hey, 
   i dont know if its just me but with apt 0.3.1 there doesnt seem to be
any method for retrieving files via ftp, when i put a line like:

   deb ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/debian dists/released/

i get the error:

   E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/ftp could not be found.

So i dont know whether or not im doing somethinig wrong, missing out on
something or whatever, probably the case, but i was wondering if you guys
could shed some light on it, that'd be great. It works in 0.1.1 but the
methods dont seem to be compatible.

Thanks
Pat
