OK well I give up |
2 |
|

Situation :- |
4 |
|
5 |
Transfer 39Mb file from |
6 |
gentoo -> XP share using Konqueror trans time <=25 seconds [XP share |
7 |
mounted smb using Linneibourhood] |
8 |
|
9 |
Transfer 39Mb file from |
10 |
gentoo -> XP share using winXP copy trans time >=5 mins [gentoo smb |
11 |
directory to XP share dir ie. XP shared dir Not mounted] |
12 |
|
13 |
So this is same file moving from same computer to same computer over |
14 |
same network with NO changes except that "pushing" the file from linux |
15 |
is massively quicker than "calling" the file from win. |
16 |
I realise that there is probably a valid technical explanation for |
17 |
this behaviour that is Beyond Our Level Of Current Knowledge [Sir] |
18 |
however should it really be so hard to do this for an average user? |
19 |

stu |
21 |
|
22 |
ps. Solution is simple send letter bomb to M$ though it may take a |
23 |
long while to get there unless I use a m$ proprietory letter carrier. |
24 |
|
25 |
pps. Apologies if I am using this list for my rant, it was valid |
26 |
untill this last post. It ends here |
