LeechFTP was originally written in Delphi 3 and released on 2 March 1998. Updates to the program added features such as file drag & drop, resuming downloads, and thread-by-thread bandwidth throttling. The final release, version 1.3 build 207, was made public on 16 April 1999. By the end of development, add-on language packs were available in 19 languages, besides the default English.
