Best Win32 FTP client?
I need a good FREE Win32 FTP client that supports socks5. Any recommendations? I have a copy of CuteFTP 4.2.5, but it keeps crashing. What do you guys use?

I use Ws_ftpLE, free for home/school use. Works great for me....Not sure if it has the socks support you need.

Nope, it doesn't. That's the one I used to use at home... pity.Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling.

Best two hands down are Bulletproof FTP and CuteFTP Pro.Comment

I still like leechFTPGigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.Comment

LeechFTP is still the best free FTP program around. If ther was a light version of BitBeamer, it would be the best, but BitBeamer costs the cash.

I use both WS_FTP and the FTP mode of Windows Commander. They work fine for me, even through my firewall.

LeechFTP is my favourite too, but alas, no socks support. I'll give bulletproof a try...Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards.

The problem with LeechFTP is that it has some SERIOUS memory leakage bugs. Otherwise I'd still be using it.
I actually ponied up for BitBeamer. I admit that $30 is a bit steep for shareware, but it's the only FTP software you'll ever need. It's THAT good.
Nobody else allows for the kind of multithreading and CONTROL that BitBeamer does. (Except LeechFTP, hehe, of course...)
The only feature it's missing is multi-threaded downloads of the same file, but then again GetRight does that just fine.

Another FTP client I like a _lot_ (though not freeware) is FLashFXP, though the only things wrong with it are that local ftp upload speeds are limited to about 1-2MBps because of poor bufferering (the program is mainly for FXP use, not client to ftp), and no multi-threaded downloads (for the same reason). Since I never use multithreaded downloads, it's not really an issue for me.Comment

But y'know, sometimes... you happen to be leeching from like 4 different servers at once... and 2 of them are private servers, so you can't log in more than once, and you really need multithreaded queue control...
*ahem*
Nevermind.
