Dreamweaver 2017.5

I'm have a persistent problem with the DW FTP. The following issues are of concern:

Frequently it says it can't make a connection
When it makes a connection, service is slow and it monopolizes my internet connection so that I can use a web browser, streaming service, or anything else at the same time.
It's very slow to get started uploading.

Other notes:

I've tried Dreamwever CS5 and it does not have the same issues when tested against the same servers.
I've also tested FTP with another program and it didn't display the same issues either.
The problem with DW 2017.5 is consistent over many hosts.
I've tried turning on and off "Use Passive FTP"
I've tried turning off "Use FTP performance optimization." I thought that might have been the trick (the last one), but it only improves performance with some hosts to turn off optimization.

Any ideas?

Best regards,

James

Correct answer js_theywill

I rolled back to version 2017 Release, 9314 Build and this seems to have resolved the problem.

There is a bug in the newer versions that monopolizes the FTP and causes frequent connection errors.

Are you using a remote server, or any file system that is not on your local drive to create/edit/update your files as you work?

(not talking about uploading files manually)

I am not using a remote server or NAS files to edit as I work.

Thank you,

I'm also using the same configuration, adn doesn't face the same issue !

what happens if you quit and relaunch DW when this problem occurs? is this still slow ? (I've remarked that DW can becomes very slow, or does'nt respond as expected if running too long time without relaunching)

can you try to grab the task manager occupation ? (I've remarked that DW help can goes up higher than 1G... and really slows down perfromance)

Thanks for the reply. Relaunching doesn't help. I'll watch the taskmgr today when I use it. I think it has to be network related because it stops the network for the whole machine.
