- AmiFTP uses asynchronous disk I/O which should make the transfer
- a bit faster. The CPS-rate is not calculated optimistic in any way:
- CPS=number_of_bytes_transferred/transfer_time

- If you're running the AmiTCP-version of AmiFTP you could try to send
- a CTRL-C to the process, type 'status' in a cli to find out the process-
- number and then type 'break <process_number>' and hopefully it will
- break.
-
- BTW, a new version of AmiFTP should be available on the www-page when
- you read this. (If not, it will come soon). The new version will not
- be uploaded to Aminet, it only contains a couple of small fixes.
