One of the local mags did some tests and you will be getting way less than this. I have forgotten the numbers but, for a normal home system with all the usual traffic, single figure rates were the norm. Only when the system was configured to work at its most efficient (i.e. it was basically nothing other than a file shifting mechanism) were figures approaching the alleged maxima reached. > > > > We have ourselves a bottleneck, paarticularly when we're batch resizing > > to post online. > > > > I'm wondering if anyone here has used anything faster than 56Mbps wifi > > cards (standard 802.11g).
