Using the FTP method, I have seen speeds slightly in excess of 1 mB/s. It 
doesn't appear that my NICs are proving much of a bottle neck. With the 
FTP method, though, there is no isolation of my NIC from the performance 
of every machine between it and the FTP source. For reasons of security, I 
don't have an FTP server set up on any of my machines so I can't simply 
check across the LAN via FTP. I'll try a few of the other tools to see 
what numbers I come up with. I'm not certain which NIC I have in this 
machine ... it's either a D-Link or a Linksys ... I have forgotten what 
machine got which NIC but lsmod shows the 8139too module.
