I find in general FTP transfers on fast connections are faster under Linux. Could be that I haven't got my modem set up optimally under Windows, though (I've seen a lot of adverts for software to increase modem speeds for windows, so maybe the default configuration is less than optimal).
Sir Robin
In its wisdom, all windows iterations (Cept XP I can't speak for that beast) are by default setup to act as a connection somewhere between 56k & ISDN speeds. Usually closer to 33.6 speeds (esp. prevalent on win98 & ME). Win2k has a higher configuration for speed. That one came out @ around a highend ISDN line. The logic? You can't go that fast on a 56k so no network flooding the client and if your connection is faster, you won't notice the speed drop. Heh WRONG!
Score another for sloppy/lazy coders who understand tech but underestimate people in general.
