Just to add a little to the confusion, I got these results from a quick
test on my Debian slug:
Client: WinXP, CuteFTP
Server: NSLU2 (overclocked to 266MHz), vsftpd
Protocol: FTP
Read 857870336 bytes (838 MB) from slug: 7,55 MB/sec
Write 183083008 bytes (179 MB) to slug: 5,59 MB/sec
As mentioned, this was just a quick test, but I'm also running Samba on
this slug, and when I copy from the slug, the transfer rate is usually
around 6-7 MB/sec.
Writing is a bit slower, but I usually connect the usb-drive directly to
the computer I'm copying from to get the best transfer.
