Hi @ every1,

I have to download some files in a local network, which are shared by windows.
I'm using nautilus as a network borwser, but there is one problem. It takes
hours to copy some tiny files. I also used a ftp-server, but there isn't any improvement in performance.
Does anyone know about a fast network browser to share files?

thx for your help!

I'd say that it is your hardware limiting your bandwith not the software.

If it really takes hours, I think it is rather a network problem than a nautilus problem.
I can download files from an ftp server using nautilus quite fast (using nautilus-2.12.2).

On the fast network browsers: your console. Try smbclient for samba (i.e. Windows) shares and ftp, you might have guessed, for ftp.
These will be the tools of choice to check wether your speed problem is caused by network problems or by nautilus.

You can only emerge the mc package without the smaba USE Flag
