I think Linux FTP is giving you speed in KByte/sec (IE about
2.4KBytes/sec is average for a 24,000 connection), where as Windows 95 (I
know WS_FTP32 does this) reports speed in KBits/sec. Remember - 8 bits =
1 Byte, so if the speed was about 8x in Windows 95, then it would be
accurate. I'm not quite sure why it would be 10x faster, except that
maybe you connected at 24,000 under Linux and maybe 26,400 (or 28.800)
under Windows 95.
