There's a minor bug in SunOS 4.1's ftp command that cause it to print crasy transfer rates. For instance, this is the result from a FTP transfer between two Sparcs running SunOS4.1 and connected by a 9600 bauds leased line: ftp> put contacts 200 PORT command successful. 150 Binary data connection for contacts (192.33.15.111,1472). 226 Binary Transfer complete. local: contacts remote: contacts 9931 bytes sent in 1e-06 seconds (9.7e+06 Kbytes/s) Hope it will be true some day :-) Roland Dirlewanger E-mail: rd@chorus.fr

I believe this is due to the fact that FTP calculates time to when the last write completes, NOT when the data is completely delivered. Thus, when the file is less than the TCP window, the time is just enough to copy it to the kernel.
