I downloaded your package and have a suggestion. 1- Install more documentation files. The following seem to be important: FAQ FEATURES NEWS README.debug-levels Maybe INSTALL isn't that needed. Also, I don't know if the following are mandatory for a port. 1- You used --disable-nls. There are no translations and the binary isn't linked against cygintl-2.dll. Personally I couldn't care less since I don't use any and they waste space, but... 2- You compiled it with a 1.3.x dll. strings doesn't return _fstat64 etc. With 1.5.x it should support large files. I never tested it for a number of reasons, like no available space. BTW, I don't know if the following is a Windows limitation, but I couldn't get anything downloaded with LFTP to store the time from the server. I tested on FAT32 and NTFS. It does by default on Linux, except on FAT32, where it behaves like in Cygwin. I thought ftp:use-mdtm (from CVS) would do something, but it doesn't, and from the name it'd only for FTP.
