Description ise 2009-10-14 10:22:02 UTC 
When downloading files from a site, the entire site is automatically selected regardless. What would be more beneficial
and would save considerable resources would be if only the files which are different on the server to those locally,
were selected to be downloaded, as is the case with uploads.
Comment 1 Tomas Mysik 2009-10-14 10:26:31 UTC 
For upload it's easy because traversing local disk structure is usually quite fast. Unfortunately, this is not the case
for a remote server, it could take ages...

What information is gathered when getting the file list? It doesn't have to be perfect, but even a check of last
modified & file size would do to prevent files which have been untouched for months from being downloaded every time as
it is normally quicker than individually unselecting each file.

Another solution could be to do the check when starting the download, and to skip it if the same. Similar to FileZilla
with it's pop-up dialogue box asking to overwrite. Anything to speed up the update.
