Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-07-22 08:58:23 UTC 
in make_ftp_request, the first cmd run is:
if (rest != None) and (rest < 0):
    rest = conn.size(address)+int(rest)

and then a conn.voidcmd("TYPE I") is run ...
however, when trying to get metadata size info, this fails:

root@home 0 / # emerge libgd -gK
Fetching binary packages info...
 * No password provided for username 'anonymous'

!!! Failed to get all metadata: 550 Size cannot be determined in ASCII mode.
