All uploads in BINARY mode from HDD, in KB/s:

MTU 492:

ARCPSF, ftp.exe: 73..82
ARCPSF, ftp_2026-08-20.exe: 66..72
SMCARCWS, ftp.exe: 77..83
SMCARCWS, ftp_2026-08-20.exe: 40..77

To compete with Windows, we would need a new PD - but I'm not able to write one, and can't see anybody else using Arcnet.
Also, circa 80 KB/s isn't that bad for XT-era technology, and already much faster than CUTCP and WatTCP.

In 2003, I voted in favour of joining the European Union. However, due to later developments - especially the restrictions on cash usage - I have withdrawn my support. DOWN WITH THE EU!
