After writing all of this I went back to playing with it all and I "think" I have somthing that could be considered to be acceptable. using figures above I have acheived a speed [konqueror dialog] of around 2.6Mb/s ~ 22.6Mbps on a 300Mb file which is a dramatic improvement really, though I have got to the point where I have chased the issue round and up my ..... but that said transfers are not painful so I seem to have a reasonable resolution Thanks for reading. stu ps. The quicker I can cut my families ties to Mr Gates the better. On 30/01/06, William Kenworthy wrote: > How are you measuring this?
