Bite the bullet and reinstall Win2k. I have seen the problem with extremely
slow transfers on my home machine. I thought it was a problem with my isp
for a long time. Then I reinstalled Win2k and it worked wonderfully again...
Patrick Norton of The Screensavers had the same problem too, fixed by a
reinstall ;-)
We have had win2k/IIS machines running without any rebuilds for over a year
now though...
SP2 might help too, if you have not upgraded yet...
