Provide complete step-by-step instructions on how-to reproduce the crash or bug.
1) Copy a direct ftp link from somewhere
(I copied from a web browser) eg. ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppix/K ... -08-EN.iso
2) Paste it into the global queue
3) Start the global queue
4) "It's not downloading!!!"
5) Open log to verify previous

The previous major release (1.2?? don't remember exactly :oops: )didn't have this problem, it started when I upgraded to the 1.5 series of Smartftp.
The problem only exists if you paste a link to the global queue from an external source. If I navigate to the ftp server and the file in smartftp and then drag the file to the global queue, it works perfectly.
The FTP log suggests that Smartftp thinks that the file name is in fact a directory name and if it encounters a could not change directory error then it gives up. Also, when using a pasted link, Smartftp tries to get the size using "SIZE", but when the queue item is dragged from a smartftp window, it uses "SIZE filename".
This is not a server error, because:
a) The problem started with the 1.5 release
This is an issue that keeps coming up with different servers.

Here are the FTP logs:

Now finally, this is a nice bug report! Others should learn from this, honestly. Thank you hicham.

Bug resolved and would be fixed with the next dev build. Thanks for reporting:-)

The new beta bulid is now available to download:

Thanks for your excellent bug report.

Another problem has appeared. I installed the latest dev build and found the bug fixed. But another bug appeared. This time, SmartFTP appears to request the size correctly but doesn't know what to do with it any more and tries reconnecting. Gets into a loop. And the bug only appears with big files (I tried to download ISO images ~700MB each - it failed, but when I tried with a small ~250KB text file - it worked). All using the global queue and links pasted to the global queue from an external source (web browser in my case).

Here are the logs:
