Wierd... possibly a combination of the two? I should try it with a different FTP server... (I don't recall if I did or not). All I know is that 3.0.3, on the same FTP server (some windows software) works fine downloading large files, whereas 3.1.1 didn't. I'll try 3.1.1 on a different FTP server and see. Maybe there is something that is triggered with that particular FTP server and that particular version of ncftp.
