After using FileZilla for very long time I moved to another FTP client called Bitvise SSH Client. It can do all from SSH to FTP, SFTP etc. Anyway does your ADSL connection is unlimited one ? Because mine has a cap at 90GB and only about 35GB peak time download. So I download my big files like backups to VPS and the upload to Dropbox for safe keeping.  

I'm totally old fashioned and conservative, still believing that physical hard disks - my computer or external disks - is the safest. VPSs can easily go south. So I feel more secure when I've downloaded backups to my computer - and then a copy of the computer to an external hard disk. I do use mega.nz for sharing and did use drop box at one stage. Like the free version of both. I'm very sceptical of cloud storage as well.

My ADSL is unlimited.  Size of the download was 16 GB. I'm a bit lazy and since FileZilla SFTP works well for me in general I'm a creature of habit and would prefer to sort out its shortcomings. I just picked up in its discussion forum other people have similar problems with that bottom panel with the percentages rolling. Like it goes on forever. Must say however it's never stopped on me before and gone for delayed action. I should be happy however as files have been successfully downloaded. I've also downloaded backups through cpanel - so I have backups of backups in this case. If anything should have been corrupted with FileZilla I have other backups to rely upon.

At any rate, have updated FileZilla as I've been ignoring Filezilla pop ups for updating for the last couple of weeks. Let's see whether this will make a difference as well.
