Could you please run strace -p on those hung processes to see what they are doing? > /usr/local/bin/lftp -e 'o > http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet/dist/deprecated/ && mirror -e -v && quit' It could be shorter: /usr/local/bin/lftp -c 'mirror -ev http://www.packetfactory.net/libnet/dist/deprecated/ .'
