Hi,
can you explain me what do you want to know about this?
IPv6 is mainly server side thing. My program is just a client which connect to the sites
so IPv6 is not that necessary right now. Many sites still use IPv4 now.

Hello,
For Google Drive case, that is running under the dual stack now. when I using the Web page to upload files that go through the IPv6(for sure, my PC is running under the dual stack too). If FU support IPv6 then it can resolution DNS name into IPv6 address and transfer/upload file via the IPv6 connection. For my case, I have two NIC on PC and I define one NIC for IPv6 traffic only, another is for Ipv4. then I am easy to separate the traffic flow.

For the modern s/w that should support IPv6 now, another s/w I used that is MiniPony that is well support IPv6 now ...
If you have time, you can study it as the new feature ....

Regards,
Cody.

In settings there is an option "bound to adapter" where you can choose which network card should be used. It will use IPv4 on both though.
Maybe that can help for now. Or is that software thing?

What exactly do you want? You want to choose if program should use IPv4 or IPv6?

Hello,
In Windows 7, if we enable dual stack (IPv4/IPv6) when FU do the DNS name resolution for server it will use IPv6 first, if not working then it will use IPv4, so it is transparent to users. Connect to IPv6 or IPv4 server/client that is automatically thing (coding) from s/w side, no need to do any setting/option on s/w. 
Seems FU users do not mention IPv6 here, so not rush for this feature .....

Regards,
Cody.

Ok, so you just want an option to use IPv6 if possible.
I can add it in future, it should not be a problem. But there are not many sites which can use it so I did not think about it yet ;)
