lftp 4.7.8-2 is now available in Cygwin. This is a new upstream release, with minor enhancements and bug fixes. Please see http://lftp.tech/news.html for the list of changes.
The previous release was lftp 4.8.0-1. That release was buggy [1,2], so it's been withdrawn from the distribution. But if you installed it before, setup won't automatically upgrade you to 4.7.8-2, because that version number is lower. You'll need to select 4.7.8-2 manually in setup. lftp is a sophisticated file transfer program and ftp/http/bittorrent client. It supports multiple network protocols. It offers tab completion, command history, job control, and bookmarks. It can mirror sites and transfer multiple files in parallel. It keeps trying interrupted operations until it can complete them.
