Nope, should have an effect on the next time you use ftp. Be sure to put it
somewhere between the <global></global> tags.

As I said, this helped me to get rid of an initial lag. Maybe it helps you
as well. But if the problem is really getting every file, it looks like
something in the connection. Did you try Geralds (?) suggestion about
passive mode? Could be your firewall software is slow opening a port....
