What you might consider doing is to ftp from a terminal - just cd
yourself to where you're wanting to save the files (on a different
partition) and run ftp from there - that way, you're not utilising a
cache - which EVERY browser does - and being that you can't necessarily
change the place where the browser caches it's persistent data, you're
bypassing that crap in the first place. Either do it from a terminal
console, or use an FTP client like gftp - you'll fare much better...
