Theres a cisco router pointing out to the internet. The file is a big text file with information and with lots of spaces inside it. (ascii 32) This file can be transferred using ftp or an http link. It transfers fast! (95-500k/sec) When someone tries to get this file of the internet, it transfers REAL slow... (2-4k/sec) If we do a mass search/replace and replace the spaces with periods or some other character, the file transfers over the internet fast! Curiously enough, we can do ftp PUT's to this file from the internet and its fast again. Only GET's go slow. Binary or Text mode have both been tried with the same results. Is it an OS problem? A router problem? We've renamed the extension of the file, used lots of different samples.. done everything we can think of. ANY file with lots of blank space in it is slowed down drastically. Has anyone heard of this / seen this before?? Is it a router compression thing? The transfers from that machine when you're local go fine. Any help would be appreciated. - Raghuram Ponnapalli Furman Selz, LLC. -------------------==== Posted via Deja News ====----------------------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Post to Usenet
