It will properly retrieve the file, but on completion it thinks the file was truncated and then deletes it. Note that unsetting FTP_PASSIVE_MODE causes fetch to work as expected. >How-To-Repeat: First noticed when fetching packages from ftp.freebsd.org: % fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/9e-1.0.tgz Receiving 9e-1.0.tgz (4294967295 bytes): 0% 4343 bytes transferred in 3.4 seconds (1.25 kBps) fetch: 9e-1.0.tgz appears to be truncated: 4343/4294967295 bytes % fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/amaterus-0.32.5.tgz Receiving amaterus-0.32.5.tgz (4294967295 bytes): 0% 30558 bytes transferred in 10.2 seconds (2.93 kBps) fetch: amaterus-0.32.5.tgz appears to be truncated: 30558/4294967295 bytes % unset FTP_PASSIVE_MODE % fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All/amaterus-0.32.5.tgz Receiving amaterus-0.32.5.tgz (30558 bytes): 100% 30558 bytes transferred in 10.2 seconds (2.93 kBps) >Fix: Workaround: make sure FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is not defined. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
