Ok, I found it. I increased the default window size in the Windows 98
registry to 32768 instead of the default 8192. Now windows displays the
same problem that I had with ncftp on Linux. So I guess the question is:
how can I lower the default window size on Linux to something more
reasonable for my connection? How can I test a whole bunch of values
easily to see if perhaps 16384 or something else is best?
Thanks,

Subject: Dropped packets for ncftp but not through masqueraded ftp
:Hi,
:
: I've noticed something strange about my ftps from my Linux box. If I
:use ncftp (on the Linux box) every once in a while a packet or two is
:dropped and everything halts for a second or two to restart at the
:missing data position. If I use ftp voyager on my Windows 98 box which
:is masqueraded through the same Linux box, I get no dropped packets at
:all.
: My connection is a 7.1 Mbps ADSL line and I have downloaded from
this
:site at better than 250KB/s before (masqueraded).
: My Linux box is an Intel PII 300 running Linux 2.2.1-ac4.
: I did some calculations and it seems that I am receiving less than
:100 KB/s before the dropped packets which I should be able to handle
:easily.
: Also ifconfig doesn't seem to show that my Linux box is dropping the
:packets.

:Any ideas?
