I thought maybe some name resolution thing was slowing it up so I added names and IPs to host files, but no change... Since I could get faster speeds connecting to a remote site I decided to setup an nfs server, which sysinstall said was getting speeds around ~1000kbs... It seems to be something wrong with sysinstall using ftp, since now that the box is installed and running ftp connections to the same machine are as fast as would be expected... So any ideas on whats going on here? Anyone else noticed something like this before? Thanks, Kal.
