I am really sure this can be ignored. The trunk contains a patch
that solves this problem.

I just tested downloads/uploads with large files (>20M) both in passive
and non-passive mode without any problems.

Hm...the emulated file permissions for such objects deny the download
and the corresponding FTP error code  is returned when you try to downloa=
d
such an object. That is the same as when you try to download a regular
Zope object you don't have permissions on it. So Zopes behaviour is fine
in this case. Maybe you should use a better FTP client :-)
