wow, very nice! I grabbed the code and did a quick compile for Solaris
8 with gcc. I ran a few tests and found that its average http download
speed for me now is around 350kB/s !
the comparison speed is about 1.1Mb/s via wget, same file, same
webserver (this is across a switched WAN link).
So the kermit may still be a bit CPU-bound in comparison, but it's
plenty fast for me now. Plus, the client box I'm using is not quite the
fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy..Sun Ultra 10 with an ultraSparc IIi
@ 300Mhz ... but at least it's solid :)
Thank you, Frank!
Happy Holidays!
