Unfortunately this is the webspace from my ISP, so it's not *my* FTP server.

The error first occurred after Bazaar had already uploaded about 14
MB, so I doubt if the problem is an unsupported feature in the FTP
server. Does it really take that long before the APPE operation is
attempted? When I tried again the process stopped after half a minute
or so, and the amount of space used on my webspace remained the same.
