This sounds to me like a proxy/firewall problem, not an FTP
configuration problem. My money says that the pure-ftpd box is behind
a proxy/firewall that is checking to make sure that your ftp session
is alive and at some point it says "no, I don't think it is" and it
starts dropping packets. I only say that because I've seen the same
problem and it turned out to be firewall config.
Maybe you could create an ssh tunnel for your ftp send send it over
that and see if you get any difference.
