Gauri:

I'm afraid I won't be much help there ... it just works on my system. I've retrieved files as large as 3GB without any problems other than finding the space to put the darned thing!

But here are a couple of things I'd look at:

  • If you can read smaller files but not the 100MB ones, perhaps you should alter the timeout to see if that affects it.
  • Have you tried turning on debug mode in Net::FTP to see if it has any clues for you?
  • A bit tedious--but you might consider monitoring the traffic with Ethereal.
