Download stalling

J-J · 01-06-2003, 03:00 AM

Hello,

Windows XP (all updates from MS)
FlashFXP v2.0 (legit) build 906

I noticed a weird "feature" in FlashFXP v2.0 build 906.

In certain situations the download "stalls".

Start a transfer. Press CTRL+F9. Now, while the window is open, the transfer stalls. If i type in a password and press OK, the transfer continues.

This also happens when i click the main menu. While the dropdown is visible, the transfer stalls.

The transfer will slowly drop the speed of the current file until it's at 0,00kb/sec. and the next file in the queue will not continue.

Understand?

Greetings from

this is known limitation of FlashFXP.
it's not multithreaded, therefore when you open any menu or popup window all background processes are stalled.

When you press Ctrl-F9 a modal window appears, meaning that it waits for input before conintuing, when such a window is open FlashFXP will not be able to function until the window is closed.
