Thanks for handling the "download a zillion useless player files" problem in a graceful manner.

By the way, I haven't installed this yet, but I noticed when uploading a screenshot this morning that it went much faster. Could that be because of the new version on the server, or cause of the network blockage Tom referred to being cleared up?

Either way, out of curiousity, what did you guys tweak to make ftp go faster?

I think it must be the network. The ftp fix was on the windows client.

The windows network socket wasn't flushing the data as fast as was possible (as it did in the unix analogue). We suspect that this fix handles not only the ftp case, but also some weird freeze problems that were previously occurring when users connected to a windows server temporarily lost their network connection.
