But I did that *after* the new (usb wireless) hardware, and exactly the opposite happened; download speeds, according to totally unscientific tests, were higher (like 207 to 370 KBps).
But look I'm perfectly satisfied that ZoneAlarm somehow screws-up FFXP; it is after all a free firewall, and their topic A isn't going to be uploading ftp sites.... And just for the heck of it, I just tested FTPVoyager, and it works of course under same conditions where FFXP faults -- but when I throttle-down FFXP to 80KBps and it doesn't do weird things, FFXP still uploads the file noticeably faster compared to FTPV. I'll take it....
