NCTUCCCA is a SUN SPARC 2 workstation with 5, 1.3G disks, in addition
to a system disk.

In fact, running a FTP server do not need fast mainframe, since the 
CPU load is sight.  However, the disk i/o and network traffic is 
heavy.  You know, the famous ftp archives wuarchive.wustl.edu is
running on a DEC workstation, and monthly traffic is about 150G 
bytes transferred.

Actually, if NCTU T1 connection outside campus is not broken, normally,
you can ftp NCTUCCCA.edu.tw at the transfer rate about 5-20K bytes per
second.  I don't think it is slow.  However, if the T1 connection is 
broken, it may be very slow.  Please try to FTP it later.

Your suggestions are always welcomed.
