Force XCRC over XMD5?

Is there any way that SmartFTP can force to use XCRC when server provides both XMD5 and XCRC features? I know XMD5 is more reliable but it uses too much system resource and is much slower.

Thanks!

This is not possible. On a decent system MD5 is more than fast enough.

Thanks. Although I don't quite agree that SmartFTP client is always running on a decent /fast system, on my laptop it takes 1 minute for md5sum to finish a 500MB file (crc uses 20 seconds).
