You need to report this false-positive to your AV vendor.

Except it is not a false positive.
You are clearly attempting to install the "sponsored" version which installs an ad-serving engine on your computer and your AV software is detecting this as a potentially unwanted application (PUA).
Instead, go to the downloads page, look at the bottom for the "Other FileZilla downloads", select your correct version of the installer and begin the hours-long download.
It takes less than a minute to download the foulware version but downloading the truly-free version is throttled to .2 kb/second.
Gee - thanks Konkle.

By the way, I do think this software is worth paying for, but give me an option to just send you folks money periodically. :roll:

Downloads aren't throttled in any way. One of the mirrors is experiencing technical difficulties, currently under investigation.
