speed question

[vjrogers]

I am currenlty trialing core ftp for some scheduled transfers on a clients network.
I have a 100Mb network with a switch but I cannot seem to get a transfer rate of more than 1.5 Mb/s
As we are talking about 4Gb files this is looking like 40-50mins per file, surley you should be able to get a higher transfer rate than this

Is there a good formula to use to calculate an optimal buffer size?

I.E. MTU of your local TCP/IP stack, or the MTU of your DSL Firewall Router, etc?

is there a correlation between sending packets with trace, lets say and specifying it to fail on fragmented packets, etc?

If there is a more scientific way to figure things out, I would love to know.

Thanks!

Love the client, btw!

Chris.
