In the case to not sound like “yesman” - yeah, there are some issues, like ftp, sometimes ssh gets slow. But it is definetly very useful stuff.

Keep rockin!

FTP can be very ugly :/. Please provide a detailed description of your problems in our bug tracker, so that we can track down your problems. One big problem is that FTP’s LS output is often totally random, it’s simply “underspecified”, causing much headache like a whole galore of semi-similar random crappy date formats, the fact that it is a text rather than a binary protocol and unfortunately there are many servers and clients around that are written for very special scenarios, that do not really obey the FTP spec [same for http, btw.].

> sometimes ssh gets slow

Data encryption is slow, no matter how big we make our buffers or whether we switch to some push&seek transfer mode.

It's not actually GNOME's fault but Cairo's (and GTK+'s ?).<br/>For example if you resize gcalctool and 'Five or More' windows you can see the slowliness really well.

It has happened twice and have gone after some time, or restart. As it was local connection, I rulled out internet problems.<p/>Anyway, thanks guys for great work.<br/> With “ssh is slow sometimes” actually I didn’t mean’t transfer error, as very strange long gasps while switching between directories on ssh server.

I'm glad we have you. According to my calculations, at the current exponential rate of increase, you will fix all GNOME bugs by quarter past 2 on Tuesday afternoon. I’m glad we have you.
