System: NetBSD gozer 1.4ZD NetBSD 1.4ZD (GOZER) #1: Thu Jun 15 16:24:42 PDT 2000 notroot@gozer:/build/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GOZER i386


>Description:
It appears that if you do a 'rateget class 42k' in ftpd.conf and the
connecting hosts's bandwidth is below that of the limit, the server will
only transfer the first 42k of a file, and then consider the file fully
transferred.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
in /etc/ftpd.conf:

rateget p5guest 80k
rateput p5guest 80k

and download over a sufficiently slow link (i.e. idsl or modem).
