Upping sendspace and recvspace fixed the problem, I was able to get a file
at 67Kbyte/sec which only came down at 25 before changing the values.
65535 seems to be a good value for both parameters. Enabling RFC 1323
extensions had a bad effect, after enabling extensions all my transfers
would hang. Is there a place to put this in the FAQ?
