I'm getting my mail under somewhat adverse conditions here in India.
The Internet connections to the outside world are somewhat overloaded
during the daytime.  I'm trying to bring compressed mail files across
with fup.  Here some results:

23360 bytes received in 1063.64 seconds (0.02 KB/s)
2920 bytes received in 356.93 seconds (0.01 KB/s)
24820 bytes received in 1266.68 seconds (0.02 KB/s)

All this has me wondering why.  It seems that ftp gets particularly
bad performance when transferring full frames (1460 bytes payload).
While this transfer is (not) progressing, I can access the system at
the other end interactively.  It seems that if I could persuade ftpd
to send smaller frames, I might get better throughput.  Does anybody
have opinions?
