[Linux] Connection time too long/downloading speed too slow

[legacy-Thetargos]

This in a LAN with 10/100 Mb base NIC running at 100Mb and trying to access a listening server (also running in Linux). A friend and I tried to pass each other mapfiles that way, but download time was being ridiculously slow (for LAN connection), 7 Kbps according to stat net . Is there a way to speed things up, to try to use the whole of the bandwidth? Thanks.

UT2003 caps out wat the netspeed you specify, even for file downloads. The best policy is always to use a redirect server, ie set up Apache on that box and have UT2003 redirect to http://your_ip_address.

Or something like that.
