It's taking all day to ftp my /usr/pkgsrc_distfiles over Ethernet with 
Linksys 10/100 cards at both ends.

Source machine is a tower, Intel D815EEA2 motherboard, the dest machine is 
ThinkPad 380Z. Both run NetBSD 1.5.1. The source machine also is running X, 
specifically KDE2 -- but I am not doing much on it -- except to write this 
e-mail. The dest machine is not runnning X. The ftp seems to hover in the 
neighborhood of 4.10KB/s. 

Both ends are Linksys 10/100 cards. The source machine is NetBSD driver fxp0, 
the dest machine is NetBSD driver ne2. They are connected directly together 
via a Cat 5, X-over cable -- no hub or switcher.

Is this a to-be-expected "feature" of ftp, or should I maybe investigate 
something?

Thanks,
