Below are two log file segments:
Not really a big issue, but interesting. Though for a lot of files it could make a large difference.

Note the elapsed times. Both log files were run at the same time (two cmd sessions and I had a torrent going). Note that each file d/l takes about the same amount of time even though the "gate" files are about ten times larger. ScriptFTP seems to take a lot of time just connecting to the FTP server.------------------------------

Hello Bucket,
Thanks for reporting this. We are already aware of the longer download times that ScriptFTP has in some configurations. It seems that it is because ScriptFTP uses the same process for managing the data transfer and updating the user inteface. The command line version of ScriptFTP does not have this problem.

The command line version of ScriptFTP does not have this problem.This is the command line version.
I don't think it is the d/l portion, but rather the portion that sends commands to the FTP server. I watched the output of the script and it seemed to take several seconds for each server command (I know that the torrent was saturating the Internet connection which explains the several seconds).
But the delay was the same for each session. Yet the actual d/l took the same amount of time, so that the aggregate time for each file transfer was about the same even though one file was about 10 times larger.
I have the same problem, over 30 seconds for a 4kb file. I'm using the command line and FTPS_EXPLICIT_ENCRYPT_DATA. The same file can be uploaded by SmartFTP (which we use for manual uploads) using FTPS in about a second.
Is there any fix for this yet..?

I just had about 500 files to d/l. These are about 35-45K.
I have an estimator for ScriptFTP which calculates the estimated time to completion (all files d/l and deleted from the server). The estimator showed about 22 minutes for this session (it is quite accurate as manual timings have shown).
I then killed the ScriptFTP session and used Filezilla to transfer the files and delete them from the server. This took 3 minutes. Now Filezilla uses three threads for the d/l, so three minutes times three threads would be about 9 minutes if there was only a single thread.
This would indicate that Filezilla is roughly 240% faster .
I sometimes have upwards of 1,500 files to d/l, so this can add up to quite a difference in times.
ANY improvement in speed would be greatly appreciated.

This problem has been fixed in the version 4 Beta
