I prefer using wget. Once you learn the location of the ftp:// files, use a command line and type:
wget -cm ftp://ftp.somehwere.com/pub/wherever/* If the transfer dies, run this again and wget will recover where you left off. It will create a directory in the current directory called "ftp.somewhere.com" and the directory structure to get to the files is inside it. I recommend this for all large transfers.
