pion: don't think so. I know glftpd supports that, but it has to do some extra checks to make sure the upload is still making progress, etc. Seems like a lot of work. On the other hand, if the problem is you are fxping files that are still being sent and thus arriving incomplete, it would make sense to go the other direction and prohibit downloading of files being uploaded altogether. That would make far more sense especially since I can see zipscripts adding or subtracting .nfo files from a zip which could completely corrupt a file that had been partially transmitted before the change and the rest after...
glftpd supports this, yes. But VideoLan player also support reading a file beiing written to.. which is also open source.. dunno how easy it would be to use the logic from there?

The problem is that the file is unavailible when it's uploaded, any media file with a complete header can be viewed which is handy for multiple purposes.

Example; user 1 upload a cam recording to server 1, user 2 download cam recording at the same time, viewing it with vlc during the download process.
