If you can identify more specificly which side is having the problem, it's probably worth filing a PR about it. Try using fetch or curl instead, to see whether another client does OK, or try using proftpd to test another FTP server. You might also find that publishing the files via HTTP/1.1 so that byte-surfing works better than using FTP. -- -Chuck
