I get around 3200kB/s on my home network (100mb/s, full duplex using a 5 port switch). Because of the way TCP/IP is designed no single connection will be able to take up all of a high speed network's capacity, even if it is the only connection in progress (maybe because today's networks are alot faster than they were when IPv4 was developed.) I think I read that IPv6 was supposed to help solve this; maybe someone who works with IPv6 could fill us in? -- Harry Henry Gebel West Dover Hundred, Delaware GPG encrypted email gladly accepted.
