Here are the error messages I got after scanning ftp.apple.asimov.net: 

Removed ‘.listing’.
Wrote HTML-ized index to ‘ftp.apple.asimov.net.html’.
550 NONEXISTINGFILEdgdjahxnedadbacxjbc: No such file or directory
550 NONEXISTINGFILEdgdjahxnedadbacxjbc: No such file or directory

This is a result of the lines at: https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/ftp-queue/blob/53c82cc3b57efe251fdb398860ef8ffd802a96bb/ftp_check.py#L134-L144

What's the rationale behing trying to fetch non-existing directories and non-existing files on purpose ?

As a user, my first reaction was to think something went wrong.
