There's little unit confusion here, I usually run wget which works in K(=*1024)/M/bytes (ironically it does not report the 'byte' part). Anyway the reported slowness of wget might be also due to ncftp really measuring in kB meaning 1000*bit, not byte... For the rest of reports maybe better if we stick to wget measurements if you have them on your computers. i.e.: wget ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.3/lyx-2.3.0rc2/LyX-2.3.0rc2+qt5-x86_64-cocoa.dmg Pavel
