in reply to more FTP in single time

If fast upload is really important on an ongoing basis, you might want to consider checking (and renegotiating) the terms of your ISP account. Many providers (in Israel) provide upload speeds about 1/10 of download speeds on the supposition that most customers are browsing (downloading) rather than uploading. Usually the download speed is widely advertised. The upload speed is not. This can make for excruciatingly slow uploads, no matter how many connections you have.

Best, beth

    In my experience, the same is true of most DSL lines in the USA. (There is such a thing as SDSL, where upload and download speeds are equal, but it's extremely rare, especially in the residential market.) Cable modems tend to be even more heavily unbalanced, with 1:20 or even 1:100 ratios of up:down bandwidth.
