As I type this one Iyonix using NetSurf is downloading an 85MB file

webserver, it will be a lot better.
I barely dare to admit that I still don't know what WebJames is,
Webjames is a web server that runs on RISC OS which gives me some idea
of what speeds can be achieved for a http connection between a web
browser and web server on the local network, and shows there is no
intrinsic limit of 350KB/s Given a sufficiently fast broad connection
(cable or ADSL2) it should be possible to match or exceed that transfer
rate.
but when it comes to downloading data across a home network, my
Iyonix just copied 18,6 MB from a Windows computer in just under 3
seconds, using LanMan98. That's more than 3 MB/s. But probably, one
can't compare these two matters.
Using a webserver, particularly on RISC OS, will be a slower than using
a file sharing protocol between machines on the local network,.
Anyhow, apparently none of the servers that I download from use
WebJames.
They'll be using something a lot faster.
