If so, you need to find out how busy your local ether is at the time of the copy. To do that, you can use a utility like trafshow (in the net category of the ports tree, see http://www.freebsd.org/ports/) to show you what's happening on your network. Be sure to tell trafshow which interface to look at with the -i option. You should probably also consider what work your Win95 box is doing at the time of the transfer. I'm pretty sure Quake, for example, would slow your transfers down. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
