Ensure your ftp service does not have a (default = 5 min) timeout!
If the transfer stalls at a certain bit pattern, and it goes over a WAN, check with your WAN provider!

I've been called "a few GB short of complete" before too. Smilie

Could there be what is called a packet-shaper on the network to throttle high use connections, or perhaps there is something that flips to an alternate path after a few minutes and the process is not working properly.

The default timeout is probably most likely though. Have a go with a larger file if you can. Probably best to make one with tar (get something really large) & compress (squeeze out anything that your ftp/sftp might be optimising)

Can you run it manually but use the hash subcommand before the get. It will display progress markers and you can then get a better timing for when it is stopping.


Nothing else leaps out at the moment I'm afraid.
