I can confirm that without --loop there is no hang.
i can confirm as well on 20.04.
It hangs with retrying the whole parent process somehow and goes into a infinite loop as this is in my case the bash script. If run manually inside the lftp promt it won't hang.
I am stuck on Getting directory contents (0) [Waiting for response...] while trying to run reverse mirror with --loop. The files are transferred properly. Running manually inside lftp does not help. At first I thought it might be log files be added to the src directory, but putting them somewhere else does not help.
Adding the -P flag (-P 5) seemed to fix the hanging behavior for me.
Can confirm that this is still present on lftp 4.9.2 that ships with Ubuntu 22.04. Any mirror command with --loop
that finds a new file will hang. Mirror commands that don't find any new files on the first loop will complete as expected.
$ lftp --version

EDIT: I'll additionally add that I compiled copies of 4.8.4 and 4.7.7 but still found the bug to be present. I had to go back to 4.5.6 for a version where mirror --loop
didn't exhibit this bug.

Hanging mirror command (doesn't always hang): mirror -v --continue --delete --loop --parallel=2 --use-pget=4 --on-change=!"touch $TOUCHFILE" -p -X metadata -X .state -X Events -X FoundationCompanyPlusDaily Products mirror
I noticed that every time it hangs, there is "Retrying mirror" followed by download of an additional file. For example:
Transferring file
CurrencyRates/CurrencyRatesChange20200318.zip' ... more files here...
PriceEquityRecentHistoryIntraday/PriceEquityRecentHistoryIntradayChange20200318-02.zip' Total: 29 directories, 900 files, 0 symlinks New: 38 files, 0 symlinks 94670 bytes transferred in 101 seconds (939 B/s) Retrying mirror... Transferring file `GICRS_ISIN_Daily/GICRS_ISIN_DailyChange20200318210016-001.zip' ... hangs ...I am trying without --loop to see if it helps, but it will take a few days to know.
