I've got to agree with you that file transfers at least are slow.  I know my 
sister has a tendency to run bearshare in windows at times and there seems to 
be about 60-90% overhead when running the program.  This leads me to my next 
question, is there any way to limit the amount of bandwidth a certain port 
can use when setting up a linux box as a gateway?
