Finders’ WebDAV sucks

The MacOSX 10.5.5's Finder sucks at handling WebDAV. I was at first glad to connect to the WebDAV server, but it can't sustain a connection while downloading something. After the connection is closed, I can't reconnect because Finder assumes that I'm still connected. The only way I can reconnect from finder is to kill the process manually from the terminal, then I can reconnect to the WebDAV server.

I have tried other WebDAV clients too, including CyberDuck, which seems to have some problems of its own. The best client by far is Transmit, so far it has always worked for me.
