is it possible? basically if i upload one file, i get for e.g. 20 kb/s. but if i open a new ftp session using another instance of the program, even to the same site the speed goes up collectively to 40kb/s.

there must be some program that allows me to break the first file i was transferring into many parts and upload them using multiple FTP connections? in that way i'd be able to upload a single file twice as fast?

currently using flashfxp, pretty sure it doesn't do that.

suggestions?

I don't think so , FTP is a stateful protocol so you establish a single session and transfer over that. You could just connect twice.

I may however be wrong. :)

you can put it into multiple RAR files, but then you'd have to unrar them when you are done.

Ar eyou doing multiple files? FileZilla will upload multiple files from one queue at the same time, and probably do what you are looking for.
