Downloading the same file with lukemftp works fine:

Comment 1 Ulrich Hecht 2006-02-21 11:26:38 UTC 
Tested with lftp-3.4.0-7 from STABLE.
Comment 2 Michael Gross 2006-02-21 12:40:03 UTC 
Ulrich: Does the download suddenly abbort?
Try truncating the good file to the length of the broken file and compare both files with diff. If they do not differ, it could be a problem that lftp does not interprete the length-information from the server correctly or fail for files with unknown lengths.
Comment 3 Michael Gross 2006-02-24 11:56:47 UTC 
Use the `debug'-command with -o on the lftp-shell and attach the output file here after you reproduced this.
Comment 4 Michael Gross 2006-02-27 09:40:54 UTC 
Please reopen this bug once you provided the required information.
Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:35:46 UTC 
mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)
Comment 6 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:37:51 UTC

Comment 8 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:53:41 UTC 
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
