1) How long exactly do these transfers take to complete?

I suspect that the control connection is being disconnected due to inactivity, During a file transfer the control connection remains in an idle wait state and some firewalls / routers / proxies will automatically close a connection that has been idle longer than the limit set for the device. This poses a problem for ftp connections because the connection is dropped without notifying the client, FlashFXP doesn't realize the control connection is lost until it attempts to get the transfer complete result and then it realizes the connection is lost. The proper way to resolve this type of issue is to configure the firewall / router /proxy by increasing or disabling the idle timeout limit. There is an option you can enable within FlashFXP and your millage with vary depending on the ftp server. This option is "Send Noops during transfer" Located in the Preferences > Connection > Proxy tab.

2) I'm not really sure.

FlashFXP runs great on windows 64bit and that should not cause you any problems.
