misbehaving HTTP server makes lftp retry forever

I'm downloading from an HTTP server where it stops sending the file at
about 40 MB and then stops sending data. lftp doesn't seem to handle this
very well and retries the transfer over and over and over, indefinitely.

This happens with pget -n 5, pget -n 1, and get.

Is this expected behavior? Is there a way to disable it? Or set a max
number of retries? net:max-retries is already set to 3...

Thanks!
