Is there any FTP client that support transfer files with multi-threads? By which I mean, multi-threads for single file, and also keep a thread for browsing ftp sites.

Do you mean threaded for single file? – MrStatic Mar 13 '10 at 2:14

I think he means multiple simultaneous data streams for one file. – Fake Name Mar 13 '10 at 5:36
@Fake Name - yes, that's what I mean. – Stan Mar 13 '10 at 6:33
Does anyone can recommend some? – Stan Mar 23 '10 at 18:20

From what I understand about the FTP protocol, a threaded transfer of a single file is not possible. The transfer must start at the beginning of the file.

Some have gotten around this by taking the single file and zipping/raring it in a multipart file (multiple files that can be used to extract the large, original file)

If you're using Mac OS X I would suggest Transmit or Speed Download. Speed Download (despite the name) does actually have a built in FTP client.

OP's looking for Windows. But Transmit is, in my opinion, the best on Mac OS X. – Muhammad May 26 '11 at 21:26
