FTP site always downloads files when not updated

Hello,

I have a project that downloads files from an FTP site... I set the project to only get files that have been updated (check file size), but every file is downloaded every time even if it has not been updated...

Should this only download when a file is updated?

Thanks!
Bryan

I tested the Project - downloaded it and then started again to test the update. It worked perfectly - the listing loaded again and all other files were reported as not modified. Here is the log for one of the files:
