My friend has a pc server that I'm trying to dl from. I'm able to log in using ftp and browse the remote machine, but the download always fails. It starts as if it were going to download, then fails before any info is sent, and leaves a blank file in my directory. Is this a fixable problem? From my end or his? Thanks!

I'm working from the command line in the terminal. I also tried to use fetch 4.0.3, but it won't even recognize the remote host.

Another twist...apparently, I can access the host and dl from Internet Explorer, but the dl rate is pitiful. Still don't know why Fetch or terminal won't work.
