Transfer Aborted

I just installed SmartFTP today, and I really like the program. However, when trying to download a file from my site (about 200 megs), SmartFTP fails about 90% of the time. Here's what the log says:

I tried 3 other FTP clients and none of them have the issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello ..

Use the Transfer Queue for your all your transfers. Most FTP client do not offer features such as transfer integrity checks. Without them you can never be sure if the transfer is successful or not. With SmartFTP you can be sure that th files are transferred correctly.

Thanks for the reply. Isn't there a way for the program to be programmed to perform integrity checks if transfers were done by the method that I am using? I believe that WS_FTP does this.

Thanks

I just tried the transfer queue. I set the number of workers to 4, then tried it again at 6. Regardless of what I set it to, it only uses one (1) thread/worker. Am I missing something?

Hello ..

If you only have one item in the Transfer Queue only 1 Worker thread is started - regardless of the number of workers. Multipart transfers are not supported as they don't provide any advantage in most situations.
