That indeed appears to be the case. From http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/entdev/article.php/3802111/FileZilla-One-Swe et-Free-FTP-Client.htm : > A multiple transfer function for example can support more than one transfer thread at a time; that's a big help when manipulating numerous smaller files. > If multiple threads aren't enough, FileZilla will go you one better by allowing multiple instances. That is, more than one copy of Firezilla can be up and running at the same time. In practice this offers the possibility of uploading to multiple FTP servers or connecting to a single FTP server as more than one user. Multiple FTP transfers yay or nay are a tough call -- on the one hand, it's not nice, it's "cheating". OTOH, everybody and their grandmother have been doing multiple transfers for ages. In Filezilla, if you go to Edit -- Settings -- Transfers and set Maximum simultaneous transfers to 1, does Filezilla still transfer faster than OpenBSD's stock ftp(1)? regards, --ropers
