    Hi,

    I have strange problem I'm trying to figure out but just doesn't have a clue.

    I upload .swf files (online flash games) but swf doesn't load for some files, for some does. I check, size is same but still doesn't open (browser says: 'Movie didn't load'). Then I need to upload it few times more and it works. This happen only on few sites, not at all sites.

    I'm using FileZilla.

    Help/clue very much appreciated.

    Hrmm does sound strange. What transfer mode are you using, binary or ASCII? The FTP client should automatically know which to use though so usually this isn't something you need to change.

    I am also think about transfer mode, maybe try binary?

    and some servers don't have good support for resume-transfer, but it more often happens when load a large file.
