Ooops, I've uploaded a newer version before I read my mails.
But now I've tested your site too, the first login worked (I could play the mp3 files too), the second one failed after the 30 sec timeout (at waiting response to PASS command), the third one worked again...

Modifications in the last build (2010.07.25):
- 3 different timeout for login (30 secs), message and directory read (15 secs) and file-read (6 secs)
- faster/immediately detection of lost connections at message reading too (faster - but still very slow - file handling on ftp://ftp.inet.no)
- added windows nt directory handling (previous versions read unix style only) (tested on ftp://193.43.36.131 )
- direct ip addresses (like above) handling in DOS version (I don't know where is the bug, maybe in the win32 virtual packet driver, but I've implemented a bugfix on Mpxplay's side)

> So, I think we can say that FTP handling is basicaly done

I hope, now it is, but a program is never finished...
And tell me, if you find a server, which doesn't work with Mpxplay (but works with other programs like Firefox or TotalCommander)

There is an ALT-F5 for file copy...
But it's very slow, if you play and copy too from the same server/session, so pause/stop the music, then copy the file. Mpxplay doesn't open automatically a new session for the secondary file. (you can do this manually, if the server allows multiply login)

I plan...

No space to put all keys there...

Almost all keys mapped to a function already... (e,ctrl-e,f,ctrl-f,i,ctrl-i are busy). Yeah, a config menu is missing from Mpxplay... I will look around...

Anyway, thnx for the tests!
