Why is Filezilla so slow to open?

Asked by ketoneus (1179points) October 30th, 2008

Filezilla takes at least two minutes to open on my work PC. It also takes about a minute to connect to an FTP server. Is this typical?

Not at all (just fired it up to make sure, about 5 seconds to start, about 5 to connect), did you install it recently?

It seems to do pretty well exporting and importing server information and such so it might be worth doing an uninstall/reinstall if you have permissions to do so. Also, might want to check and make sure you’re using the latest version (3.1.5), they’ve released a couple updates in just the past week or so.

Try running the ‘portable’ version and see if you get different results.

Maybe there’s just something messed up in your install.
