Hi all--
I know we're not supposed to say kermit is slow, but for my http
downloads, it appears to be! :)
I wrote to kermit-support but on second thought I probably shouldn't
have bothered them without asking here first. so here goes:
I have been using c-kermit on Solaris 8 recently with some scripts for
file push and retrieval. For push, I'm doing ftp scripting. For
retrievals, I'm using the http command set. They both work well in a
scripting environment.
One thing I notice though, doing an 'http get' on a file only gives me a
download speed of about 16kB/s. Using 'wget' on the same file and same
webserver, it comes down at over 200kB/s.
I've tried my binary, a pre-compiled binary, using 'fast' on the kermit
command line....I just can't figure out why it's running at such a slow
download speed.
My version is 8.0.211, Solaris 8, gcc, default compile options.
Anyone have some ideas on how I can improve the speed? Thank you!
-Matt
