Hmm, that is odd, i use both ncftp and gui-ftp all the time, and have dled
extensivley with both programs without a problem.. I do get cutoff from gui
more often than on ncftp but never while dling a program. Usually when just
sitting there.. actually ncftp using Gad MGet 2.0 ( a great recent file
getter ) does cut me off, but i have never been cut off while dling files..
that is pretty odd..
