    just noticed this yesterday, anytime i try to connect to a ftp server to try and download anything (using firefox & ie) i always get a mmessage saying document contains no data, any ideas?

    eg, trying to download the patch for boiling point, grrr makes me angry as i cant connect to any server!!

    Downloaded the Boiling Point Patch earlier at 72MB...took about 6 or 7 minutes.

    Use Flashget and download this:
    ftp://ftp.download-center.com/international/boilingpoint/BOILING-POINT-EUROPE_RETAIL-UPDATE1_1.EXE
    I was getting 210KByte/s from it about an hour ago.

    Who is your Broadband provider??

    If you really want to use a good FTP prog then get FlashFXp or just use Flashget for downloading from HTTP/FTP sources.

    What type Download/Upload stats are you getting from IBB?

    I find Firefox has appalling FTP support, and FireFTP ain't that much better. I can't browse around inside my personal FTP with firefox when i'm inside my lan. I can't connect with FireFTP to any FTP behind a proxy (For some odd reason). Logging in with a password is a pain because i can never remember the syntax to type in the info into a URL. IE has a nice handy popup where you insert username and password!

    Actually, i think i'll go and put up a feature request about it! Its been bugging me for quite some time.
