Chilkat FTP satisfies all my needs for FTP... but now a now need arises.

Some users complain that the machine freezes on a FTP download. Since the users of this app are generally less computer literate than the average, I presume they don't know the difference between "machine freezes" and "app freezes", though either is possible.

Now the least I can try to do is to have some progress indicator. However, once I issue a This.oftp.Getfile(lcFromFile, lcToFile), it's all beyond my control - the ActiveX takes over and anything I do will just have to wait until the download finishes or times out.

If anyone knows how to at least download a file in chunks, or maybe if a timer would still work, or... should I just play an animated gif, or what? Does anyone have any experience with this?
