Your disk doesn't happen to be full or something silly like that ? I'm not 
sure how lftp is handling that but it would explain why it removes the old 
incomplete (or empty) file and then 'tries' to get a new one.

I would recommend using rsync, however if your disk is not full, we have 
to debug this situation. For this I added a new configuration option, can 
you use the latest subversion version and add:

	[main]
	lftp-options = -d

This should give you more debugging information from lftp. Then rerun your 
command and send it :)
