Can you turn on "Log Debug" under Tools > FME Options > Translation? That often gives you more information in the log window for web-based issues like this. Just don't leave it on all the time, because it does also return scary looking messages that are in fact quite normal.
Mark, the log file also doesn't have any error

OK, there must be some log messages relating to this though. For example, when I try it on a test server I get messages like:

INFORM|FTPCaller (FTPFactory): FTP request: RETR 5MB.zipIs there anything in those type of messages to say whether it is being successful or not, and what size of file it is retrieving?
Also, a few other questions...
- What version of FME are you using? I see a few FTP-related items in recent versions.
- Are you downloading it to an attribute or a file? Can you try a different setting (for example if you are writing to a file, try storing it in an attribute and seeing what the content is)
- Can you post your full log or let us know what site/file you are downloading? It would really help to be able to try this ourselves.
