Though the ftp is still in progress the file size does not seem to be changing.

Hi,

I am getting a tar file (23GB) through ftp from a redhat server (RHEL AS4).
I have initiated this yesterday and the ftp is still in progress.  I
determine this by the running hash (#) symbols at the ftp console.
Though the ftp is still in progress the file size does not seem to be
changing.  Please suggest.
