After an FTP transfer, curl expects to get a response back from the server.
Since so many people have problems with NATs or firewalls etc when you do long
transfers, curl then waits only a short while for that response code before it
decides it won't show up and it continues. It's not really a good fix, but as
far s I know there is no fine fix...
