Here is some more information about my system:
Intel PII 350, 384 Megs of RAM, 2 Multi-Gig hard drives (neither at capacity).
My co-location company and myself know that there is more transfer trying
to get through because we see it hitting a "roof" on it's transfer at about
3200kbps,
and it won't go past that, and there is no steady up and downs, it's flat
lining
at that type of transfer, so we know something is wrong, and speed for
transfers
is VERY slow...  I ran a test at netmechanic.com, and it rated it as "poor".  A
site to look at for yourself would be www.sitepalace.com.  Thanks for your
help...
