Is BC or will BC support multithread comparing. Would this speed up the FTP comaparison. I'm watching a single threed process or maybe 100 files or so.

Using multiple connections for FTP comparisons is on the wishlist. Whether it will speed up the comparison will depend heavily on the connection between the two computers.

Ahh found a way to speed :) it up a bit. Create multiple sessions for sections of the FTP site. In theory you can only work in one area at a time. If you working on section x then include folder(s) related to x. For example include folders like common, images, and x into a session and ignore the reset. Or in reverse notation ignore all except the ones you want to work on. This would reduce the FTP chatter on the none important section and focus on the area being worked on. And also the obvious like ignore large PDF, JPG, and any other static content.
