I really enjoyed using pure-ftpd until I hit this issue (question b). 
Resuming anything over 4GB does not work (at least on RHEL4). I spent a 
few hours debugging it and what happens is pure-ftpd correctly 
calculates the stor offsets but it appears that when it seeks the file 
it doesn't start at the right offset. My test case was a 5GB file. 
Resume anywhere after 4GB and when it gets to 5GB it will just keep on 
going. I don't mean to sound bitter or anything but when I posted to the 
list no one seemed very interested. I switched to vsftpd and it's doing 
what I need. In case anyone is interested I tested with a known good 
resume > 4GB client and compiled in large-file support in the server. 
proftpd 1.2 had the same issue but 1.3 didn't.
