Hello I've recently created an ftp chat for a group of moderators, It works perfectly fine however the timer1 that downloads the chat.txt, It lags the form is there anyway I could make the chat not lag. I've tried multi-threading I've failed at that. I will gladly upload the source if you would like. Is there anyway I could remove the lag?

Since every few seconds, the chat program has to contact the ftp server, then download the file, a lag is created. However, using an ftp chat, I do not think you can make a better way of updating your program, at it will always need to contact a server.

You can make the application more responsive by handling the data transfers in a different thread.
Though FTP is not designed for real time chat.
