It finished pretty fast for re-downloading it all...  

The FTP code that it's printing in [] is "321".  According to rfc 959,

 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc959.html

... the first number means "positive intermediate reply", the second
means "connection", and the third is for further classification of the
response.

So, if that is the FTP response code, it's not an error, and I think
that if it really transfered the file, it would return "250", though I'm
no expert on FTP protocol.
