It would =20 throttle itself up and down because of some weird windowing thing =20 windows does. That is what I found on the web anyway. On a what type of network(some config info please, like any switchs?) =20 do you share files and what is the throughput? I would get between =20 1-12mbits(it was a while so these numbers might not be right, but it =20 was slow like 10mbit or less). I was transferring tv episodes between =20 2 pcs on a 100mbit switched network. FreeBSD to windows. Finnally I would like to ask all those servers/pcs that are mostly idle =20 to run folding@home if you can. Email me if you have any questions on =20 it. It runs itself at nice 20. Thanks, Jason
