Peter, I'm not a technical expert in this area, but I will comment that when you were browsing the site in question while FTPing a huge file to it, perhaps the web pages you were viewing were cached in your browser, so you didn't really notice any slowdown. Possible? Try the FTP again and browse the site while forcing your browser to reload all the pages.
