I've noticed (maybe I just don't know what I'm doing) that multithreading in SmartFTP requires each thread to connect to the server. That's a lot of lag time (especially on a wireless connection, which I'm on when I'm at work). I know that FTP uses a 'control' connection to send commands back and forth and opens additional 'data' connections to transfer file lists, files, and other data. If I am correct, one control connection can be used to manage multiple data connections, which, if implemented, would get rid of the connection lag time completely and allow really fast multithreaded downloads. I know that it is possible because LeechFTP did it, and I could download hundreds of small files (mostly source code) in minutes over a cable connection. I recommend that this feature be introduced into the program, and would also like it to be automatic (click + drag = multithreaded downloads/uploads).
