Perfered solution is to use sftp:
sftp might a better choice, with the -b batchfile flag it will terminate the batch script if a command fails unless the command starts with a '-' character. sftp protocol also includes validation of blocks as there transfered so if file arrives you know it's intacked.
Downside is you need a server that supports it and for batch mode you will also need to setup public key authentication.
If you don't have the option of using sftp you could try
ncftpget it supports the -DD option (Delete remote file after successfully downloading it.).
