Transmit 4 WOW!

Couldn't agree more with you guys. I've been using Cyberduck all this time but Transmit 4 is a different experience altogether.
Have a question though - I tried changing the app icon but every time it uploads or downloads something, the icons becomes blank on the dock and on Growl. Here's an example, where you can see only the upload overlay but not the icon.
I've tried everything to my knowledge but in vain. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it ?
Thanks.

OMG. I had a couple of minutes this afternoon and thought I'd give Transmit 4 another shot.
I started it up. There was an upgrade. So I upgraded it.
I SFTP'd to my site. It connected.
I dragged a file to my desktop. It downloaded! *GASP!*
Congratulations Transmit 4!!! It only took two upgrades after your initial release to perform the simplest function for which you were built!!!
[APPLAUSE]
Dare I try to find out if the rest of its features work?
Dare I?

OMG Part II.
Transmit 4 (now that they finally got it to work) is much, much faster than Cyberduck.
Thanks Panic!

Thanks Panic!
What I've noticed is my problems still persist and after more than a week my email remains unanswered.
There's a lot more to running a software company than merely making it look pretty.
Panic seems to have forgotten that.
Right now I paid for a bright, shiny piece of software that isn't getting used in favor of Cyberduck that I can use for free.
Well played Transmit... well played.
Not to repeat what Panic has already told you, but I'm sure that they're a little swamped with email right now. As a reference point, I've been a transmit user for years now (having a hard time remembering just how long - but it's been several years), and I've always had nearly instant response, even on very remote issues that they really didn't need to support me on. It's not often that I'll stand up for a company, but this is a really great company - they make great software, and they have great people standing behind it. Give them a little time while they work through the support mess of a new version, and I'm sure you'll be surprised in the end.
- one happy customer
<edit> looks like they got you up and running, glad to hear it
installed transmit 4 not able to connect
I installed transmit 4 but it will not connect to systems that I could connect to with transmit 3.5.6. I reinstalled 3.5.6 , no other changes and I can connect.
Sent transmit email but don't expect to here back in time, I use this everyday in my job. UI is real nice and some new features like s3 but still need bread and butter to work.

It should be straightforward but I hope you're not using the 400mb jpg on a webpage. That will be painful to render
What makes it so much better than Cyberduck?
I mean, going from FREE to $34 is going to take more than just a super slick UI for me. (I mean, not ragging on those who do just prefer a slick UI -- if I was rolling in dough I would just get it).

The image is actually a series of scanned text files in jpg format that has been converted into a single pdf document. The idea is to have the pdf document accessible and readable on the webpage, but the 400MB file size of the the pdf is already as compressed as possible, given the source of jpg text images.
Is there a better way of doing this?
I look at it this way: Cyberduck is for people who need to FTP occasionally. Transmit is for people who do/need it all the time.
Cyberduck certainly works but it's slow and has a buggy UI.
Yup. Even just things like the tabbed interface, folders of favorites, settings to auto-ignore fiels by name (e.g. .svn directories), multiple file/directory progress meters, parallel browsing of multiple servers... v3 didn't have a huge advantage over Cyberduck, but v4 is totally worth the price if you use FTP all day every day. Although I do wish the auto-update worked properly.
LOL -- I have had many tough battles with PDFs (much of which is actually on these boards) but what you're trying to do sounds pretty nuts. Also, totally unacceptable. I have thoughts but maybe start a new thread.
It was be nice if they had, say, a 30 day trial so you could try and and make up your own mind. Oh well, too bad
There's a demo version, why not try it? http://panic.com/transmit/
(Actually, the 'demo' version is the full version, which just becomes unlocked on registration)
