FWIW: With my old NEC, I was able to have three ftp sessions uploading
at about
30K/s each and one downloading about about 20K/s to give about
100K/s throughput.
 And when I tried downloadeding Quake from XTRA, the rate steadily
climbed to
187K/s at which point the download finished.

Here is my test:

ftp> get quake106.zip
local: quake106.zip remote: quake106.zip
227 Entering Passive Mode (202,27,184,38,19,95)

On several occasions I set up ftp downloads off 5~8 sites all at the same
time my worst run was 145k/sec the best 169k/sec typical 160k/sec
sustained over 5~10 minutes on the NEC boxes I havnt trailed it on the
M10 ones yet.
I also played at downloading off my ftp site via an analouge modem
(IHUG) and managed 4.5k/sec repeadedly. Similar tests on the same file
after the above saw off USA sites  1 to 1.5 K/sec.
Over the last 12 months or so we have discussed throughputs on
nz.comp, and I think the best was 212k/sec (from memory), I suspect it is
very dependant on the distance from the exchange, those closer
seemed to do better than me, those about the same distance about the
same rate.
Given few people use adsl at the moment I suspect we will see rates
deteriorate as more people come on line. The very fact of poor quality
lines will mean cross talk and always will, we are not on the end of
ethernet quality cable.
