It's not a bug, it's a feature! Although I can see how this might be
a problem in some circumstances, it's meant to make lftp more robust.
>From the man page:
Every operation in lftp is reliable, that is any not fatal
error is ignored and the operation is repeated. So if down-
loading breaks, it will be restarted from the point automat-
ically. Even if ftp server does not support REST command,
lftp will try to retrieve the file from the very beginning
until the file is transferred completely.
