- Looks to me as though your maximum possible rate is 250 Kbytes no matter
- how fast the network is. I suggest trying "COPY /B GIGAFILE.XXX NUL" on your
- PC to measure the ultimate rate that it can deliver data to the network.
- The speed may depend on just how fragmented your PC disk is (although that
- may not be a problem on a 1 gigabyte disk ;-).
