DC used to be good, until UConn installed their traffic shaper. Works basically as a priority queue for bandwidth. It limits ports, ie. the standard ports used for DC, as well as filetypes. There seem to be a few exceptions to this, namely in ftp transfers, but those i cannot explain for i do not work for UITS now. As of the end of the spring semester tho, UITS started limiting DCC speeds on stardard ports as well. just FYI, this is stuff that the general and my self have looked into...hehe - Johny
