A few facts I compiled since my original reply:

- This problem is not exclusive to flashfxp. Other fxp clients have the same problem (I tried smartftp with the same results).

- The noop method suggested earlier doesn't seem to work either.

- It is DEFINITELY caused by my router (a linksys). when i don't use it, that problem never occurs (or maybe its incidence is reduced so much i just never caught it)

It is thus my guess that the only solution to this is a workaround implemented in FlashFXP.

Flashfxp already estimates the time of the current transfer using the results of the last successfully sent file. so what bigbras suggested

if xfer takes X% longer than expected, then restart' option.
seems to me like an excellent idea. Make this option available for each individual site and let the user define X. i would personally go with something around 20-25% to allow for normal site slowdowns due to increased traffic.

Now, of course. this isn't a bug inherent fo flashfxp but to routers , network conditions or whatnot so I can understand why BigStar would be reluctant to try to solve a problem he didn't cause. Unfortunately, more and more people have Lans everyday and i just cannot spare my router. And it's a fact linksis is the leading brand. This problem will probably not go away in the near future but increase in proportions. If it's not too hard to code, I think it's worth a shot.

Thx bigstar
