1024 byte buffer size is insufficient for transfering large files over faster (> 100Mbit) networks. We are transfering files tens or hundreds MB in size and transfer speed was 1MB/s. After increasing the buffer size too 100KB we are getting transfer speeds up to 60MB/s. Please consider increasing the BUFFER_SIZE in the next Ant release. Thanks, Peter
