[Bug 49525] Opening files on remote FTP makes server go crazy

[Celso Pinto]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: totem

I'm trying to open a movie by double-clicking on the file icon in
Nautilus and this fires up Totem. Totem then starts seeking the remote
file which is slow and completely hogs the server.

I'm attaching a sample of the FTP server log. A very acceptable solution
if for Totem to first copy the file locally and only when the download
finishes open the local file, instead of using seeks on an FTP server by
opening and closing client data sockets.

** Affects: totem (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Medium
         Status: Confirmed
