Okay, I tried disabling those extensions first (BTW, what are they and
what does disabling do exactly?).  That did not work, as the file still
hung in the same place upon trying to ftp it.

Not sure, but here is some tcpdump output that might be helpful.  I do not
entirally know what it means, but it looks like the remote site is trying
to send the packet still, and my end is not doing anything, and then all
of a sudden my end starts to try and receieve it again to no avail:

This is a weird problem, and is quite annoying also.  I dont know what
could be causing it at this point.  I hope someone can interpret the
tcpdump output and maybe discover a clue in that.
