I've been trying to figure out why, after an undetermined amount of 
time, Gui-FTP will suddenly abort a download.  I was thinking that it 
might be a bug in Gui-FTP, until last night when I had a little to 
drink and strange thinks popped into my head.  Such as: sometimes when 
you're logged into ftp.netnet.net or ftp.luth.se and you're paging 
through an INDEX file and a message comes up and says TIMEOUT because 
you haven't sent any commands in a while.  This logs you out.  I wonder 
if it isn't the same when downloading a file that takes a while?  I 
recall having read somewhere that that's what the hash function in ftp 
is for- so the remote host doesn't think you've forgotten about it.

If this is the reason my downloads are aborting, does anyone have any 
ideas as to what to do?  I could ftp everything to my account on the 
university's computer and then to my Amiga, but that wouldn't be any 
fun at all.
