Yeah, it's about what I'd expect out of 256k, not 1m. Of course,
there's an awful lot of net between here and there; 25 hops or so,
with ~160ms RTT's. If my memory is working (always questionable :),
that's around the same speed I got a few months back, too. I just did
another run, and got about the same:
[0:42:08] mortis:/tmp
(ttypd):{381}% fetch http://ctwm.free.lp.se/preview/ctwm-3.7-alpha6.tar.gz
ctwm-3.7-alpha6.tar.gz 100% of 787 kB 11 kBps 00m00s
So I s'pose it's a permanent condition of this particular network
path, sadly.

Oh, yes. It's a patch of the ctwm port (at least, what the ctwm port
was a day or three ago; pretty sure it hasn't changed) to pull 3.7-a6.
And some of the patches in the port have changed, so it patches the
patches. Think of it as security by obscurity ;>
I've built and installed a6 from it, and it seems to be working right.
Not of much interest to people who don't use the FreeBSD port,
though...
