There is a 'congestion bit' and a CLP-bit. The congestion bit is switched on in case of network overload, the CLP-bit means real trouble: data has been truncated (clipped). As far as I remember, there was someone else some months ago on this list, who also had continuous CLP-bits; I do not recall, whether he had his problems solved... Anyhow, this might lead to something; I do not remember, whether CLP-bit frames are dropped or not (or if they should be dropped). Obviously, however, Windows can handle these frames properly, if that's where the errot lies. And if so (and the Win-driver is indeed dropping a lot of frames), then you, Andrej, will never be able reach your maximum download-throughput under Windows. So: could you download some biggy file and see if the download speed meets its max?
