Windows 2000/2003/9x/XP / Shareware; $34.95 / 15,843 downloads

BulletProof FTP can download files in any order from any directory on an FTP site, automatically reconnect and resume from where it left off if the connection is lost or no data is received for a specified period of time, browse the FTP site from the cache while offline or transferring, and even list hidden files. Leech mode allows you to quickly download files from servers that have a specified time limit for downloading. It can disconnect, reconnect, and keep downloading automatically when your download credit runs out. If you set it to monitor the clipboard, it can instantly connect in the background to a URL you copy and start transferring files. You can queue files on more than one site for download. It also offers proxy/firewall support, HTTP downloading with support for redirected URLs, local file listing with rename, delete, make directory support, imported site listings from CuteFTP, WS_FTP, and FTP Explorer, vRemote mirroring, and a Windows9x style file finding ability.

    "free upgrades forever" was the deal when I bought my copy way back in 1999 (check the Internet Archive if you don't believe me). Now they've renigged on the deal. The company is now owned by a bunch of scammers - stay clear.

    Not a good experience. I entered my FTP site's host name, and my ID and password. It connected successfully, and logged in successfully, even showing the FTP server's welcome message. Then... It displayed an error saying the host wasn't found. After it was already logged in! The same host works fine in every other FTP client I use. Pfffft!

    I'm not sure what the previous guy is talking about, the software never fails to function and after it's purchase; it will work forever. Mine has been running for over 9 years!

    I'm always getting update notifications of new versions:

    BTW: I think you're talking about BPFTP Server, not BPFTP Client. And BPFTP Server has a Portable Edition now for USB drives as well.

    Hey mcolgin, I actually bought a license for this a few years ago. Then one day you decided that paid users should buy a new license...for what? Nothing here that's worth shelling out money for the program again. I use FileZilla now and can take it anywhere on my USB drive too. Seems your company took over G6 FTP (anyone remember how awesome that was?), now that project seems dead and retains bugs for years now that never got fixed. Way to go! Let me just get out my wallet....NOT. I'm not bashing shareware, some developers really deserve the money. The sad thing is though, that from my experience, many freeware/open source developers offer far better support.

    I still think CuteFTP is just about the best but this is a decent offering.
