Subject: [WS_FTP Forum] transfer manager
giving bad stats
Has anyone else seen WS FTP Pro 8 (Version 8.0
2003.05.23) give bad stats on an ftp resume in the Transfer Manager
window? Here is the scenario:
I went to a site that had a couple of large
(600MB) files I wanted to download. I clicked both files and then
clicked transfer to my local machine. In the Transfer Manager window, I
see the download job with a + next to it. When I expand the tree, I see
the two files being transferred. The Transferred column shows the total
of the two files that has been transferred (adding up as it goes) followed by
the two individual transfer amounts. The Size column shows the
total of the two files' sizes (1200MB) followed by the two individual
file sizes (600MB each). The % done bar is as expected. So far so
good.
I click pause on the top line in the transfer
manager to pause the whole download job (both files are just over 50%
done). Both files stop transferring and the play buttons appear. I
come back later to continue the download and I click play on the
job. I am prompted to log into the site and then prompted to overwrite
or resume - I choose Resume All.
Now the Transfer Manager window shows the
Transferred amount correctly (650MB total - 325MB each file). But, the
Size column shows the amount *left to transfer for the resume* (275MB each
file, 550MB total). In other words, the Size column is less than half of
what the actual file size is. Now my % done bar is 100% for both files
because it seems to compare Size to Transferred and it will look like I am
transferring many more bytes (1200MB total) than the file size (550MB
total). Also, I now have no idea how far along I am in the download
without remembering the original file sizes and comparing that number to the
amount transferred (that number is correct).
Anyone else seen this? Is there a
fix/work-around/patch for this? It is only an annoyance, not broken
functionality (other than the functionality of a progress screen). If
there is not a fix for this now, anyone know when to expect an
update?
