Re: Help test EFS
Did you see the recent discussion of this general topic? For example
<http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200105/msg00661.html> and
other messages in that thread? It sounds like you may need to
customize the value of efs-skip-msgs-alist unless or until the default
value for it is changed. Various clients spit out messages that EFS is
incorrectly assuming mean the transfer is finished. One of the effects
is that it doesn't show the progress (since it thinks it finishes
really, really quickly). Another is that it sometimes uses the result
before it is all there, which is worse but doesn't seem to always
happen for some reason.

Hi Mike.
All in all it works fine for me connecting to various FTP servers
(including Win servers).
There are, however, a couple of things that worry me.
1) EFS no longer shows the progress of a download (percentage
complete in the minibuffer). Can this be re-instated please?
2) With (setq efs-use-passive-mode t) you can't download packages.
I'm not sure if this was the case with the previous EFS because
I've only just recently changed my firewall which smoked this
out.
If either of these two items can be overcome by setting certain EFS
variables, please let me know.
