I've had a quick look at the code and didn't see where the bug is at first glance. Because of my limited time I was hoping someone knows where this class came from so I can find out if there is a newer version which may fix this bug. Failing that I guess I've got to dig into the code.

I have a couple of FTP places where the site's timeout is shorter than the time it takes to upload the file. Sometimes it happens that the server keeps the connection open until the file is uploaded, but then disconnects before it sends confirmation that the file is sent OK, so the client stays more or less stuck - clicking cancel, reconnecting, then checking the file size takes some time, because there's some miscommunication between the client and the server, and I have to wait for the client's own grace period to pass. Generally, after the client has been seemingly stuck at 100%, the file was actually uploaded fine, it's just that the confirmation never arrived, because the "show me the directory again" command was sent when the server already disconnected. This is all based only on observation, didn't try to debug the issue.

But that's manual operation. When I upload stuff programmatically, it's only to my website, and those files are short, so this didn't happen (using old Chilkat's freebie ActiveX).
