[QUESTION] - Potential timeout? Advice on correct usage.

[moranbw]

Hello, thanks for the great crate!

I am hoping you can help me with a strange issue some of my users are experiencing. I am essentially just looping through a list of files to download. Some users have reported that the download will begin, but eventually will stall out and not continue. In the attached logs, you can see the downloads start, but the user reported waiting for about 15 minutes with no response (the files are not large, and it is all on a LAN, so should not be network issue). I am doing so in batches of 10 via tokio::sync::Semaphore, but even when I was just looping through one by one, this issue seemed to pop up here and there.

Am I doing anything wrong in my code? At one point I was using the standard ftp_stream.retr_as_buffer method, but I switched to ftp_stream.retr_as_stream to see if that would help, but it does not seem to have made a difference. As you can tell from the logs, I never make it out of ap_ftp_copy by Ok or Err.

Any advice is welcome!
