downloads...burst, then nothing

[Lev Lvovsky <levl289@ucla.edu>]

Hello,

I'm having a problem with downloads from my machine (slink).  On the 
network I have at home, I can upload at the regular high speeds, but 
downloading form the machine (to a Win98 machine), whether it be by ftp, or 
by http gives me a little bit of the file, and then slows down to a total 
crawl.  Obviously if it owrks up, I'm assuming all ofthe hardware is 
fine....is there some sort of buffer for this sort of thing that might be 
set too low?

thanks!!!
