Hi Megaduce, I noticed you were back on (mostly by yourself). I got a bit of a break and did the pending Maintenance late on Fri. The ADSL line we are using is a typical "Home" connection. It works better than many "Cable" connections out there. My other line is a Business ADSL connection and it is twice the speed. I used the slower line so what we see happening would be similar to others doing a Home Broadband FTP Server. WarezRocks on his 10MB/10MB line is quite a bit faster, as are some others, but those links are T3, or better stuff.

If you use IP#'s to control Access, as we have been on the Server, it will alter how you connect with the Site. Using a Userid/Password to control Access or Anonymous most always connects, the problem in that case is a lack of "Security". The IP# approach has worked as follows:
WorkStation----Net----FTP Server
No problems, IEx.x and any Downloader works.
WorkStation----Net----D_Link F/W (DMZ)----FTP Server
No problems with IEx.x and FlashFXP using NutCracker's setting.
Other Downloaders have problems.
WorkStation----Linksys F/W----Net----FTP Server
No problems with FlashFXP, IEx.x and other Downloaders don't connect.
WorkStation----Linksys F/W----Net----D-Link F/W (DMZ)----FTP Server
Envelope Please...And the Winner is....FlashFXP

So far have not found any other way to do this one. If one is discovered, I will update accordingly.
The Firewall port settings/forwarding etc. are all the Default ones that occur if you do a "Master Reset" on the box. Keep in mind we are using "Port 2020" in this case.
This should answer all of "modD's" questions from before and for Others too.
At the moment everything else is [img]smile.gif[/img]
