[NTLUG:Discuss] anonymous ftp is slow

[Scott Walters]

When I ftp to my linux box as an anonymous login and upload/download a file,
the transfer rate is extremely slow (100-200 bytes sec).

If I, at the very same time, ftp in with a user account name and password
and download a file, the rate is over 10k/sec.

What could be causing the anonymous login to be so slow?

I'm using slackware 7.0, kernel 2.2.13.
