On Thursday, February 23rd, File Transfer Manager (FTM) 5.0 will be released. When a new file transfer is initiated, you will be asked to download the FTM 5.0 client. Existing downloads with the FTM 4.0 will continue, only new downloads are affected.
What's new in FTM 5.0:
- Multi-Segment Download Acceleration provides acceleration for high latency Internet connections. Download acceleration is only used if a file is greater than 2 MB and download acceleration is set to No Speed Limit in FTM's options.
- File verification. FTM 4.0 validated each data block as files were transferred. FTM 5.0 goes one step further to verify file integrity by validating the full file after it has been written to disk.
Please visit FTM Central for more information about FTM 5.0. If you are using Windows XP SP2, you may need to follow the XPSP2 Install Instructions to install FTM 5.0.
