And again another question..
Ok so I am sorry if this is in the wrong place I just really don't know where to put it lol..

Anyways I use FTP on my website, and I use a program Yahoo! (my host) recommends called SmartFTP.. Lately I can't upload a lot of files at once like I use to be able to and keep getting Time Out errors and such.. It has never happened before so I want to try umm "fixing" my FTP program before asking Yahoo! what the heck they're doing

Any ideas? I have no idea where to start but I have looked through all the settings and can't find anything to change it, could it be Yahoo!..?

Hard to believe this is the FTP program if it worked before and you've made no changes. I'd talk to Yahoo! and ask them what's going on.

Have you increased the number of files that you are sending ? I have thought that smart ftp may have a limit in a certain time frame ... or even yahoo, kind of doubt it for Yahoo. Have you tried any other FTP clients ?
Let me ask you also how is your pc running in general ? running slow?
Oh I just thought of something else have you tried smart ftp from another pc ?
