Throttle
Maximize the transfer rate to the specified kilobytes per second (0 is now limit).
Passive
When checked, passive-mode will be used.
Secure Passive
A PASV command is sent to the server and it responds with an address and port, but the connection is encrypted and there is an intermediate NAT router/firewall that cannot update the address (because it is encrypted). In this case (when SecurePassive is used) the endpoint address of the control connection is used instead of the one returned by the PASV command. This technique is only used when SecurePassive is set and the control connection is encrypted (if not encrypted, SecurePassive and Passive are equivalent).
AutoDelete Files
When checked, the file on the FTP server will be automatically deleted after is has been downloaded.

When checked, empty directories will be removed.
