For the first time I have had problems with downloading files from a server.
First of all it is a rather picky server, for instance demanding Active Mode.
Half of the times trying to log into the server I got the "Not enough socket" or some other socket error.
A couple of times I managed to log in but did not see any files.
Now I have managed to log in a few times, seeing the files but downloading gives this error message:
"426 Cannot retrieve. Failed. Aborting".
This only appears for a longer 4 MB file.

What might be the problem? It is a professional server probably used by dozens or hundreds of people every day.
And yes, I am in the global queue but won't the server get mad when I perform this failed download every 5 seconds for 30 minutes? That's when I decided to switch off the last time.
