Great :)
(I will not answer your private mail to me about this then).

Yes, but only if the server you connect to is on the same LAN (the DNS for
instance probably has a speed close to this). I do not know exactly how the
LAN is built but it would be reasonable to assume that messages can colide
and thereby forcing a resend.
You could perhaps change your mss value (lantcp.cfg) to something larger
than the normal 1024 bytes (2048 or 4096 for instance) and get a speed
increase that way.

Ca 80Kbytes/sec then, not bad at all. For instance to download an entire CD
it will take you a little less than 2 and a half hours.
