Hi Stacey,

Thanks for your quick reaction. :)

I used SecureFX, both for the upload and the download. I measures the
download again, and it is ~2700K/s for a gzipped file. Upload is still
around 32K/s.

A DrayTek Vigor 2600 ADSL modem/router with standard CAT5 UTP cables between
them.

The network card on the XP-machine looks like this:

  Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
  Description . . . . . .  : Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC
  Physical Address. . . : 00-50-FA-81-5B-AC
  Dhcp Enabled. . . . . : No
  IP Address. . . . . . .  : 192.168.79.3
  Subnet Mask . . . . .  : 255.255.255.0
  Default Gateway . . . :

I tested it setting both its speed to "Auto-detect", and any combination of
half/full duplex (both 10/100).

I set the LAN IP Network Configuration to use 192.168.79.1 as default
gateway (subnet 255.255.255.0). NAT takes care of the "outside" address, but
that does not seem to apply here. And I defined two boxes: my XP one
(192.168.79.3), and my FreeBSD box (192.168.79.128).

I just do not understand how upload can be so significantly slower. As far
as I can see, I see no errors (as in a bad connection) that would not be
about the same for both ways.

Thanks again!
