i've always used ftp(ncftp) to kernel.org and downloaded a kernel. a better test would be a ftp server at your ISP and download something/upload something. with all the other traffic on my network[1](not a whole lot but still), downloading linux-2.2.23.tar.bz2 from kernel.org @ 106kByte/second sustained. And I have a 1 megabit connection(downstream, 1 Megabit upstream though with DSL protocol overhead it comes out to about 890KBPS). kernel.org has a 250MBit connection it looks like. My ISP claims they peak at 30% utilization for their backbone(s). nate [1] http://mrtg.aphroland.org/summit.aphroland.org/summit.1.html -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
