FTP: segmented transfers?

I know this is a belated response but it sounds as if you may not be using segmented downloading with those speeds. Assuming the ftp server you're connecting to is capable of uploading fast enough and assuming it limits its per transfer speed then you should see an increase by enabling segmented downloading.

I'm not yummy ftp has segmented downloading, i didn't think it did but i could be wrong. Last i tried them both cuteftp and captain ftp are capable of segmented downloading but each is limited to only 4 segments. Keep in mind that segmented downloading is not enabled by default in either of these programs and you have to turn it on in preferences.

If four segments is not enough to max your connection speed then i recommend using macports (if you don't mind using command line) or igetter (if you want a gui, albeit a less than perfect one) which are capable of more segments.
