Hello,

Up until recently I've been using Internet Explorer to download files from
some FTP sites, but after a few dropped connections, I decided to look at
dedicated FTP clients to see if there is anything which will resume a
download if it is interrupted to avoid me having to re-start from scratch
every time.

I had FTP Explorer recommended to me, but I've had a couple of problems with
it.  I've been using version 1.0.1 build 35.

The first problem is that I've been unable to resume a download, even though
the program asks me if I would like to attempt to do so.  Every time I click
on OK to resume, the partial file is over-written and the download starts
from the beginning again.  This might be because the site from which I'm
downloading doesn't support resuming downloads, but I don't think this is
the case.

The more serious problem though is that, when a file is completely
downloaded, instead of stopping, the program just starts downloading the
file all over again without giving me a chance to intervene.

If anyone knows what I have to do to get the best out of this program,
please let me know, or if there is a better FTP client I should try, I'd
appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks,

Caroline.
