Very good FTP client
Pros: I like the price: It's for free.
Installation was very quick and easy - I did it on a Windows XP Pro SP2 system.
The fact that it's old doesn't bother me, perhaps a few things could have been done better with today's user interfaces but is not essential at all and the small footprint and quick and easy installation makes it well worth it.
Setting up a bookmark / favourite to my site was easy. I didn't save the password and the program asked me for it when I wanted to connect, which is the way I like it.
I've never realised before that FTP programs can open different threads to do uploads, so it was a good surprise that this is the default behaviour (it makes 5 threads, which is configurable).
Nice graphical display of file upload progress and total kb/s.
Cons: Would have preferred not to get an error message on the first run when it tries to connect to the update site.
The remote folder didn't automatically refresh after the upload, but you can just press F5 to do it.
Switching between drives is done by right-clicking and choosing Change Drive, while today we are used to have this as part of the folder-tree. Not really a con, just something to get used to.
