Don't forget that there is a built-in job management into lftp: you can start multiple downloads, stop each of them using <Ctrl>-Z (that's why you can't CTRL-Z lftp: it catch the signal for this feature) and resume each of them using 'wait' or 'fg'. (by default, in lftp, when you CTRL-Z a download, it goes on background, it doesn't freeze) Maybe this can be done, yeah, for example by disabling the signal handler when it goes back to the prompt, and re-enabling it when a job goes foreground. Might be an idea.
