This is the thing. There wasn't a final message in the bottom panel - the percentage count down just stopped and disappeared. But took a VERY long time. You're right. I'm on ADSL and downloads are very slow. I noticed that earlier in the day with another download. Perhaps that was the problem. Software got confused when the download was slow. Like in the old days maybe it would have gone into error mode, but FileZilla has been programed not to go down when the download speed is very slow and so maybe the bottom panel percentage count down was slow to kick in.

Anyway, I waited everything out, and once it stopped, I completely disconnected and exited. I rarely use FileZilla, but should give WinSCP a chance.
