This is not a good test - the disk may become a bottleneck and the
caching of the file in memory is a factor. I would test it with ttcp or
something similar. Or when I don't have it handy then /dev/zero-like
things are good too:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 of=my_test_file seek=10000000
and then FTP this file to /dev/null of the other computer _in binary
mode_, not ascii.
And remember to delete the seemingly long file before a backup :)
(well, good backup progams understand sparse files)
