I understand the BDP concept and the calculation to then generate the tcp
window sizes. What I don't understand is this...

How in the world is a windows 2000 box running commercial software able to
push this link to 625KByte/s (5Mbit/s)????

How can I get similar results with FreeBSD? I don't care about any other
traffic on the network at the same time as my transfer, just the raw
performance of my transfer.

Thanks,
Max

Unless you're doing multiple simultaneous TCP connections it'll only
slow you down.  Your bw*delay product is 6000000/8*.220 = 165Kbytes, so
telling ncftp to set its so-bufsize to say 200K, and telling your ftp
daemon to do the same thing, should be all you need.
