Thread: Best Way to Download from a Seedbox

I have an OVH seedbox and been using it for a while not but my question is. What is the best way to download from a seedbox to my computer?

I have access through FTP and HTTP. I would like a way to do it where I'm able to pause it and then resume it later (kind of like with torrents).

Thank you.

I use Filezilla, seems to do all I ask of it well enough. Although all I ask it to do is send files to my PC from my seedbox! I think it can be paused so check it out, its free.

I like flashfxp for ftp'ing its highly configurable so if you always back your server up to one folder it can automatically skip files you have already

I think filezilla can do so. I always like filezilla to ftp transfers.

I'm a FileZilla user also but I'm subscribing to this thread because I'm not convinced it's the best - CuteFTP moves files down at a greater speed but it's not got the (better imho) interface of FileZilla.

Anyone using FlashGet? That handles FTP, has a scheduler and does resume. I can see me junking up my system installing and trying stuff lol!

I am using internet download manager and i very like it.I reach maximum speed with idm.

CuteFTP + 8 threads = best ever

filezilla over sftp. i dont like multiple thread downloads since these tend to break the files for me... plus im maxing my downstream with just a single thread :)

Depends on what your seedbox host allows. Most don't have HTTP, but I prefer that over FTP any day. But if you have to use FTP just use that. SFTP may be more secure but it definitely slows down your connection.
