Can someone explain > this to me from tcp/ip point of view? ;) 512 is download speed 128 is upload speed When you are uploading a file you are sucking up bandwidth on the smallest portion of your link. This means greater congestion than when doing a download, so the latency on your echo-request packets is higher. HTH, Chris
