[REBOL] Re: ftp dowlnoad of large file and read-io ....

Buffer is declared as a string of 20000. read-io does an append on your
buffer, but as it is low-level (?) it does not dynamically enlarge your
buffer, so at 20.000 + a little bit it sees that your buffer is full and
stops reading.
Try it with smaller sizes, you'll see the same. Buffer is a buffer after
all, so it is what you want for high performance things. Note that without
clearing buffer you are resending things you have read earlier (unless
write-io is smart about this).
But... you got it right now
