PureFTPd Problem, it just sucks.

Hi There,

Can someone help me out with this, using PureFTPd 1.0.12 I am unable to DOWNLOAD in binary mode. I can upload in anymode though. Previously I was not able to download ANYTHING, even ASCII mode files. I did a graceful reboot last night and now ASCII downloads work. I know this for sure because I set CuteFTP Pro 3.0 to download JPG as ASCII and they download content, in BINARY mode they download 0kb files and give the following error.

450 Error during write to data connection: Invalid argument
It gives that error 450 during write to data connection: Invalid argument. I had my host look at it, they couldn't figure it out, then CPanel staff looked at it and they said it was fixed, but, it's not, it will take another few weeks for them to look at the ticket again PureFTPd Problem, it just sucks. . If anyone can help I'd appreciate it, and if you solve the problem I'd be willing to compensate you with some PayPal cash.

I had this problem and went to ProFTPd, but, that thing is slow even with reverse dns off and it does take a lot of memory to use. So, I want PureFTPd. I also have tried multiple FTP clients such as CuteFTP Pro 3.0, WS_FTP, DOS FTP, PHP FTP Functions. I have also tried behind multiple networks and firewalls. I have even tried without using a firewall (speaking of which, FLIP, firewall back on). I have also tried via SFTP hoping something else, but, same issue. Any help is appreciated.

I also tried the fix provided in this post, but, I don't even have that file/directory line in my ProFTPd conf file and don't see how it has to do with PureFTPd.
