What's so bad about NET::FTP, or was that before you'd noticed the threads?
As SlimServer is still single threaded (the scanner is running as a separate _process_) Net::FTP and LWP::Simple & Co. will block execution of the server until they've finished their job. This can lead to interruption of streaming, screen updates etc.
PS This all ties in neatly with the thread that Dan started about most plugins being crap.
I must have missed that one.
We could really do with some sort of plugin review day!
