I *HOPE* this wasn't to the loopback address, my tests show

ftp> get ids
local: ids remote: ids
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for ids (1152582 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
1152582 bytes received in 1.41 seconds (797.68 Kbytes/s)

800KB/second to the loopback on a heavily loaded machine..
