Here is a bug (well maybe it should be called a feature since it's not that  
serious) and a suggestion:

Bug/Feature:

If you open up more than one ftp session, and something happens to the first one  
(i.e., it doesn't complete successfully), after hitting "okay" in the error  
panel that indicated what the problem was, the next ftp transfer session will  
not automatically continue from where it left off. You have to encourage it a  
little by generating some transfer activity (back a page or hit a new link in  
another window). Then it seems to "wake up" and continue the ftp transfer. BTW,  
this bug/feature manifests itself when OmniWeb accesses internet resource  
through a SLIP connection.

Suggestion:

How about have some sort of preference which allows the user to set the ftp  
priority? I think this would be *very* nice especially when I need to do some  
work (via SLIP/PPP) and at the same time I want to ftp something -- but at low  
priority, so all the bandwidth is not sucked up by the ftp transfer and I can  
still get some work done.
