Optimal Filezilla Settings

How do I speed up Filezilla transfers?

If your file transfers seem to be going slow, you can try to increase the number of connections and see if that helps. Note that the server you’re connecting to may have restrictions to the number of and speed of connections, so this may or may not help. Your ISP may also have restrictions in place.
