I download FireFTP, it downloads fine and askes to be installed then it asks to restart, I restart it, and it goes back to the download page. I have done this 4 times all with the same results. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix this.

I can't get it to work on Windows Vista/Windows 7!

Support for Windows Vista/7 is currently experimental so there might be issues with it working. For now, you can try this tip sent in from FireFTP user Noel Briggs: "Playing with my FF config, I came across the following setting: network.dns.disableIPv6 . Setting this from its default of 'false' to 'true' allows FireFTP to work on Vista. For those who don't know how to change this, just type about:config into your browser. Find the network.dns.disableIPv6 setting, double-click it and it should change the value from 'false' to 'true'. If it doesn't, you'll just need to type it in (depends on your FF version)." Another alternative from this thread: Copy and paste the following into an elevated CMD prompt: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
