I've recently noticed a problem when attempting to transfer data via ftp from a site (ftp.usyd.edu.au, which is running Solaris 2.3 or 2.4, and using wuftpd 2.4). My FreeBSD 2.0.5 machine is connected to the net via the user-mode ppp dialup to an Annex terminal server. The ftp site I'm connecting to is local to the Annex side. The problem is that transfers are painfully slow -- a directory listing comes through at about one line every 30 seconds. I haven't noticed this problem when using ftp to other machines, and I don't see the problem if I connect from a machine local to that ftp server (but I don't have any FreeBSD 2.0.5 machines on that side). I've got tcp_extensions set to NO. I've also found http connections to that site to be unusably slow, although if I go via a proxy at the remote end it is OK. Anyone have any ideas about this or about how I could go about tracing what the problem is? David
