>>I use FileZilla to upload our setup files to our website via ftp, but there are lots of problems associated with that program. For one, when the upload gets interrupted, you have to start all over. That can be extremely annoying when you have waited for almost one hour and when the upload is 95% finished it stops and you have to start all over.

>FileZilla is perfect for FTP - no problems at all that I have ever encountered. You need to set the options to "resume" or "ask for action" if the file (or part of it) already exists. It will then simply continue from where it left off. Edit menu-> Settings -> File transfer section -> Action to perform if file exists on upload and download. Yours is probably set to overwrite.

Thanks, that will help a lot. This was the biggest issue I had, but there are other issues as well. For instance if you place three files into the "Queue", Filezilla tries to upload all three of them simultaneously. That of course is not a "queue", but the result is that if you have one file of 10MB and another file of 100MB, you still have to wait a lot for the 10MB file. You can set the priority, but to upload them as a real queue would be much more intuitive. Sometimes the distributors are just hanging on the line to get the upgrades, sitting in the office of a client waiting for my call, and those little things can be very frustrating at times.

Also, when I come back from lunch and see the files in the "Failed" list. It would be nice if it just would keep on trying uploading. Perhaps it's just my opinion but if I tell the program I want those files from here uploaded to there, why stop half way and give me a friendly message?

But these are relatively minor issues.
