Re: inetutils 1.5 / ftpd problem: 426 Data connection: No buffer space available.

Hmm. A little more research shows winsock's internal behavior -- transfers, waitiong for ack, allocating internal buffers -- is very sensitive to the size of so_sndbuf (winsock default 8192) and the packet size (ethernet default 1560). See if one of these options gives better performance:
