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?
