Do you have an example of a large file at gandi.fr that we can dowload with a simple TCP protocol like HTTP so that rsync can be taken out of the picture? FWIW, ftp2.fr.debian.org is ~17ms away and: $ wget -4 http://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/nexuiz-data/nexuiz-data_2.5.2-… --2011-09-05 01:07:46-- http://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/nexuiz-data/nexuiz-data_2.5.2-… Resolving ftp2.fr.debian.org... 194.2.0.36 Connecting to ftp2.fr.debian.org|194.2.0.36|:80... connected.
