 I'm trying to implement file transfer over TCP/IP in my app and I've run
 into a brick wall.  The downloads are snail slow, say 10k/sec (locally.)
 What's interesting is that as soon as I start moving my mouse around, they
 pick up the pace - they zoom up to 300k/sec or so (still really slow, but
 adequate.)  When I keep my mouse idle, they drop down to the 10k/sec speed
 again.

 Any ideas?  And btw, does anyone have any suggestions for prebuilt sockets
 to use?  I'm currently using FileSocket 4.  Has anyone had any good
 experiences with other classes?

 You on a laptop?
 Do you have processor cycling turned on?

 That kind of things happens when Say playing a QT movie if you do.

 Also to smooth out the QT play back in RB you could add a timer
 that fired every so offten to keep the speed up.

 Could that work for you problem?
 Maybe?
I'm on a G4 Cube but I've experienced this on my brother's 733 mhz G4.

The timer thing worked!  Although I need to make it fire off around every 3
ms.  Are there any side effects to using this method?  It just seems so
weird.

Did you check if that CPU has processor cycling turned on?
It could... if so turn it off its a desktop :)
