Package: lftp
Version: 3.4.0-1
Severity: important

At least in ftp mode, pget is not closing the connections that have already
transmitted their share.  This leads to absurd waste of bandwitdh when
dealing with really huge files (like CD or DVD iso images) if every
partition does not transfer at the same rate.

It really needs to partition the file correctly, and when a partition is
done transfering, close it.  If a connection dealing with a partition times
out, restart THAT connection (I think it already does this), etc.
