I don't think I'm obligated to answer every single person who pipes into a thread. People who say "show me your config and dmesg" are not useful. Linux has long had a philisophical problem of dropping packets as a "performance feature", and we've already established I think that you can't eliminate it altogether, if you read the thread carefully. Also, if you're on a slow machine you can't download faster than your machine can handle it, because the "server on a gig network" can't send faster then you tell it to, not matter how fast it is. You'll never overrun a machine with 1 or 2 or 5 connections. Having a clue how things work is important.
