Not so much a bug as a feature request, but when connecting to ftp servers ala ftp://ftp.zyxel.com it only displays a ?. Anyway to add support for ftp also?

Not too easily -- it uses the http-on-examine-response notification to get notified about HTTP requests. There doesn't seem to be an equivalent for FTP, so it's not doable with the current design.

I've been eying WebProgressListeners as an alternative way of tracking page loads. The documentation suggests the IP address should be accessible from them, and that they should fire for FTP too. I just need to get round to actually testing it.
