Btw, I recently reported 900kb/s over the wire for the Indy. That was
measured using ftping huge files. Most people prefer the numbers from

I actually did complete the port of 2.0.30 as part of a commercial
project. Not to the Indy, but that wouldn't be too difficult. A certain
well known (Hi :-) personality from the Linux comunity is now continuing
that work.
