Actually not. Because there is an MGET to fetch the files, and the MGET
itself will request a transfer of a list of files matching the pattern,
so there is an internal extra transfer in this case.

Basically, LIST is a command that cause a transfer, but it's not a file.
Same with DIR. And the data in that transfer is also counted towards the
total traffic number, which means that sometimes the two numbers will
also differ. But the difference is so small in relation to the size of
the total amount transferred in this case that this small difference
becomes the same after rounding.
