Nate, A few rambling thoughts in addition to those already offered: Where is this 200MB file? On a lightning-fast server on a lightning-fast LAN connected to a lightning-fast router with a lightning fast connection to the Internet? In other words, is the file location the bottleneck? Because 26 minutes on even a T1 is TERRIBLE. Also, the download test sites don't do file tranfer using FTP in general. They establish an HTTP/TCP/IP session and dump a BUNCH of random text. So the control mechanisms are different between the test and the "real world" file transfer. Perhaps more rambling thoughts later...
