LFTP 4.5.4, a sophisticated file transfer program with a command-line interface that supports FTP, HTTP, FISH, SFTP, HTTPS, and FTPS protocols, is ready for download.

Every operation made with LFTP is reliable, which means that, if any non-fatal error occurs, the operation is retried automatically. The software supports numerous protocols, but it can also handle a few other tasks, such as BitTorrent downloads, SRV DNS records, job queuing, bookmarks, aliases, and many more.

According to the changelog, a new setting called mirror:sort-by (name, size, date) has been added, the CPU and memory usage has been reduced for the torrent download function, an occasional "BUG:deadlock" message has been corrected, and a segfault that occurred when a directory contained duplicate file names has been fixed.

A memory leak that occurred in the torrent has been fixed, the byte counters in mirror –depth-first have been corrected, a number of timeout checks have been fixed in FISH, a new setting called ftp:site has been added, the http body is no longer uncompressed when Contrent-Type is already compressed, and a few of the translations have been updated.

A complete list of changes and improvements can be found in the official announcement. You can download LFTP 4.5.4 right now from Softpedia.
