	Well, copying it from inside my firewalled machine to
	FUNET took about two hours...  I just got thru the
	train-trip between Helsinki and Turku, and got to
	university to check a couple things here before going
	home -- and initiating a modem call ;-)

	There is special directory cache system that tries to
	minimize the need to rescan directory, and stat all
	files all the time, however it always lags behind when
	things are changeing under it.

	Two hours... slowest connection that I have seen in here.
	Especially as it SHOULD be at least 10 Mbps all the way
	(several 34 Mbps, and faster ATM links..)
	In fact I think I could have uploaded it via 9.6kbps modem
	faster than thru that link...

	While in train, I got a word that the FICIX network
	interchange point has some problems, and everybody's
	traffic must go to DCIX at Stockholm to get in between
	Finnish internet operators.  FUNET link to Stockholm
	is ok (34 Mbps), but others try to play with slow wires,
	like 2 Mbps, and hitting there intra-finnish 155 Mbps
	traffic is rather hopeless...
