First of all, many thanks for the responses.
Well, I think I have a theoretical solution.
Situation:
I am happy ftp'ing a big new kernel.tar.gz from ftp.kernel.org.
What happens is, ftp.kernel.org send me the data of the kernel.tar.gz in
big packets.
I ( actually my PC) receive this data and respond to ftp.kernel.org to
let this server now
it received the data. This is how tcp/ip works. Every packet gets a
confirmation.
The solution:
If I could somehow make my PC wait 'a few seconds, but not to long'
before responding to the server,
the throughput would drop. Because the server has to wait for the
confirmation before sending the next packet.
But I think this is kernel hacking stuff, and thats way to difficult for
my simple brain.
I think I am going to read ipfwchains HOWTO, and install a v2.2 kernel,
and take a look at the TOS field.
Comments are welcome,
Wim
