I've never had particularly good transfer speeds with FreeNet. The modem
seems to spend quite a lot of time sitting there doing nothing, annoyingly :}
There are so many factor that I can't put this down to a single thing;
although using an ARM2 A3000 and connecting at 19200 probably don't help.
Plus, I was using my own "hacked-together" NNTP client, which could have been
dodgy, although I didn't get good speeds with Neil's FTP client either.

KA9Q seems to give better transfer rates in general is what I have found.
