>What is so special about it ? any neat features ? 

   The main thing is that it has an extremely small memory footprint and very
little per-process local memory usage. Of course it also uses sendfile() and
has an ingenious way of keeping track of the number of logins in each class
that is essentially zero overhead. It has some of the features of wu-ftpd, but
none of wu-ftpd's problems.
   It isn't opensource, but has been deployed by freebsd.org, cdrom.com, 
freesoftware.com, and intel.com.
