Why use FileZilla for FTP, when browsers, including Netscape, had built-in FTP support?
And I thought everyone knew smileys weren't part of Unicode until about a decade later.
- pmontra 3y agoIf my memory is right, FileZilla could resume interrupted downloads, keep downloads going on from multiple sites, store credentials, etc. Browsers had the functionality but it was more conveniently organized in FileZilla and similar tools. There were a zillion of download managers of all sorts, maybe still today but I'm not using them much anymore.
