    Almost perfect in almost every aspect and constantly improving!

    Includes so many options and settings, that you really do not trust it if it's results are actually true.

    I wish it would support SFTP or FTP over SSH. I did not use BC very much except when inspecting colleague's listings, but I always got great results and it saved me hours of work. But the support of sftp would be good, as all our servers have ftp turned off by default.

    Been totally satisfied with BC3, simple and good software. Only thing missing is the "pause" feature when synchronizing.
