Hi Hazylife,
I checked according to your suggestion. Results are :
whether "heimat" is getting called or not, doesn't make a difference.

when commenting out the eof check everything is running fine, as long as the
amount of data downloaded does not exceed the buffer's size, regardless whether
there are one to two files. The very moment the data is more than
the buffers size (again no matter whether due to the size of one file or due to
the number of files) I end up with a corrupted file amoung the files transported
The last file transported ( a jpeg) is showing only half of the original
Any clues ?
