Well, ignoring your math for the moment, ftp will almost always be faster since it doesn't need to continuously encrypt the data stream. Compressing the data stream adds even more overhead, which will slow you down even further, especially by comparison to an unencrypted, uncompressed protocol on a fast link. -- Guvf gntyvar jnf rapbqrq jvgu gur ebg13.fu fpevcg, ninvynoyr ng uggc://jjj.pbqrtabzr.bet/fpevcgvat/fubjfpevcg.cuc?fpevcg=ebg13.fu be sebz n furyy-fpevcgvat nepuvir arne lbh! - ROT-13 Encoded Message -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
