XLatest tweet: And we're back again. Seems our server room has been having some heat issues. Just like us, really. Hopefully you were all on the beach too.

Should add that remote QuickLook is a very cool feature - Cyberduck has become my FTP/SFTP client of choice for web site maintenance, & I'll probably use it for incremental backups.

Works very well but has a not so slow memory leak - from 60MB real memory to 120MB used in about half an hour while uploading to S3. I left a large (4GB or so) upload going overnight and woke up this morning to find my computer frozen -- can't prove it but am almost certain this was due to Cyberduck using up all available memory, since the comp had never frozen before.

Does not work on Snow Leopard due to unavailable Cocoa Java bindings.

I've used CD for a year with nary a crash or hang. (OS 10.4.11 & 10.5.6, macpro & MBP, all intel. UI isn't so hot, but free and in active development is fantastic.

Very simple and, for me until now, efficient. A little time to up/download, but I'm not in a hurry. I'm not a full time user of it, so, it is a good app for the ones that don't up/download tons of files. For a daily use with lots of files, I don't know. I also use Filezilla on a PC and is a great one, but somehow it doesn't work with my Mac MBP 10.4.

Works great for me. I use it almost daily. I use it with Smultron and CSSEdit. Never crashes. At this point I can't see why I would pay for an FTP program.

I used to love it, but now I'm having to buy Transmit instead. Cyberduck crashes constantly these days which is really inconvenient when i have several files open for editing. Also, if it fails while uploading a file, I end up with an empty file on the server. Yikes!

I want to like Cyberduck but it doesn't quite work that well for me. It seems to take forever to get the directory list from my server (served via Cerebus) when Transmit does not. Also it just seems slower connection wise as well. For example, if I am download multiple files in succession there is a far greater pause between files with Cyberduck. It might be that Cerebus likes Transmit better for some reason though.
