gFtp is slow

I'm using gFtp and Suse 10. I upgraded to Suse 10 about 3 months ago. Before that I used Suse 8.1 and IglooFtp. Transfering files with gFtp is very slow compared to IglooFtp. Is that normal? Is there anything I can do to speed up the operation of gFtp? Or, can anyone recommend an ftp client that is faster than gFtp? Thanks, Matt Stamm
