No. Need not be weird. What would be weird is when the byte upload and byte download sizes are the same. In TCP, every packet needs to be acknowledged from the other side otherwise it would get re-transmitted. So what you have might just be normal. A downloaded packet might be 1024 bytes long while a cknowledgement packet might just be 40 bytes long. - Sandip -- -------------------------------------------------------- Sandip Bhattacharya sandipb <@> bigfoot.com http://www.sandipb.net GPG/PGP: 0x08EB637C -------------------------------------------------------- ================================================ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in subject header.
