1452 or 1454? In any case, I forgot to mention that I changed the MTU to both of these values on the Linux machine and it did not help. Also, according to this page: http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks/MTU The WinXP machine is configured to the default MTU which is also 1500 there. Another hint may be that using prozilla ( http://prozilla.genesys.ro/ ) like this: <<<<< proz -k=10 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.12.3.tar.bz2 >>>>> on the Linux computer, gives a very good download speed. It opens ten different connections.
