Could mean that they upped the maximum number of TCP connections assuming
that long haul downloads are slower and therefore will require more
concurrent active connections.
But seriously, do a traceroute to see what the difference is.

Subject: kernel optimization for long distance download??
Hi people,
I'm having an argument with a hosting company abroad. Their mirror server
gives me full speed download (600k on my 5Mbit ADSL) while my server there
gives me half.
They say that they don't use any QoS tricks.
I have talked to their support and I heard a weird claim: their mirror
server's kernel is "optimized for long distance download".
I never heard of such a thing in my life with the Linux kernel of such a
thing..
Could someone shed a light of such a thing? or is it a simple lie?
Thanks,
Hetz
