142.0. "Network Speed - or not??!!" by FOOT::WILLIAMSC (Garfield loves Pooky) Fri Jun 24 1988 15:03

I have just copies two files from node RDGE30 in DEC Park, which amounted to
76,000 blocks.  Using FTSV it took *THREE HOURS* to complete in comparison to
about 10 mins when we were in Acre Road.

Is there anything that can be done to improve the speed of the network?

    Speaking of which, has anyone tried running DATATRIEVE on YMER ??
    (Thats Stockholm, to the uninitiated)
    
    It's not the Baud rate that's the problem, it the BORED rate -
    
    Talk about -3 characters per second - that part of the network seems
    to be run by British Rail!!!
    
    Seriously, though, how are we expected to run an  efficient support
    service when logging in to the machine takes two cups of coffee
    and a cigarette to complete?

    Believe me - it'll get worse before it gets better. 
    
    Just persevere David, it does get VERY VERY slow sometimes but normally
    it isn't too bad.
