Has KFTPGrabber gone viral

Hello.

I have been running KFTPGrabber 0.8.1 on Debian 5 on this computer.

I hade been using it without problems, for maintaining web sites, until 
recently.


A few days ago, it suddenly decided to, instead of uploading four 
selected files, upload a directory and its subdirectories, totalling 
about 200MB, instead of uploading the about 200kB selected.


Today, I selected a couple of files, and it said hey, this file sounds 
similar, and tried to upload a file that was in a directory of the same 
level (the directory was at the same level; the file within that 
directory, was at a lower level). I tried repeatedly, and, no matter 
what file I selected to upload, KFTPGrabber decided that it wanted to 
upload, instead, the particular file that was in the directory, that was 
not a file that I wanted to upload.


So, I had to use the command line FTP utility to upload the files.

So, has KFTPGrabber become viral?

If it has, then it is unfortunate, as it had been a good tool for web 
site development.
