- Hello!
-
- I have an irritating problem with ange-ftp version "$Revision: 4.11 $" when using
- dired version $Id: dired.el,v 4.53 90/12/21 12:09:56 sk Exp $ (4.53) on a Decstation
- 5200, Ultrix 4.2 (?) using epoch 4.1
-
- When I copy a huge file to or from my machine, ange-ftp will often copy the
- file twice. The first time it gives the usual message with the '??k' message on the
- command line, then it says it completed successfully. After a slight pause, it
- proceeds to repeat the copy, which is a huge pain when transferring a few megabytes
- between Australia and the US.
-
- Here is a copy of a bit of the ftp buffer. I was trying to transfer
- ImageMagick2.0 from export.lcs.mit.edu (I just remembered I could have used
- archie.au! oops) :
