I have had this problem for a long time, since Mandrake 7.1. I find that no matter what ftp app I use, if I try to download ANY file that is in the range of 4 megs or greater, it will download to 100% but then the connection wont terminate and it will just sit there stalled. If I quit the ftp app (gftp, ncftp, hit the x in the top corner of a konqueror download window - under NO circumstances hit "cancel" or the file is totally lost) then the file is fine. If it is an rpm, it installs fine. If it is source, it builds fine, and so forth. The file is perfectly fine but the download connection will not terminate. This is a real bitch if I am trying to do a batch download. Files will download fine until it comes to a file that is 4 megs or larger. It will download the entire file but then will stall and no other files will download as it sits there forever stalled. I have to quit the app, restart it, and restart batch downloading from the next file. What is this problem? I have Mandrake 7.2 plus (kde 2.1 and XFree86-4.0.2) with kernel 2.2.18. This problem existed with kernel-2.2.16, 17, and now 18. It has been there with straight installs of 7.1 (possibly 7.0 though I don't recall) AND with updates. I keep hoping that whatever the problem is, it will be resolved in some file somewhere so that it goes away when I upgrade files/rpms, but it remains. Any ideas?
