lftp version 3.2.0rc1 is available for testing at ftp://ftp.yar.ru/lftp/devel/
It contains GnuTLS support, and OpenSSL is not used by default. Please test.

GnuTLS seems very stable, except for one strange thing about certificate
verification. E.g. https://www.sun.com and https://www.ibm.com verify cleanly,
but https://www.microsoft.com and https://www.adobe.com get an error.
Turn on debug in lftp and see for yourself. I don't know yet what causes it.
The verification code is taken from GnuTLS examples and fixed a bit.
