I am a bit confused so I am going to ask several questions to understand the problem better. Do experience a slowdown on the machine which runs MC or on the machine to which MC is connected ? Does it take a long time to read the directory listing or maybe to download or upload a file ? What do you expect to do while MC is busy doing something ? Note that you if you have slow upload - you are most likely to experience a speedup if you upgrade to the new version. _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
