Hi Jonathan !

Oh yes.. I did the same (using ssh instead :-P ) but I'd like to know why !

I have never noticed it, I think it's quite impossible that I never
didn't noticed that it is so slow if it's the normal behaviour since I
am always on clients and doing production databases backup's to my
machine for some tests

Some more info:
I have tried it from another XP machine, the same happens, I tried to
backup another DB around 100MB I got he same behaviour some tables goes
fast some others a bit slow (around 40k records) and others that are
smaller appears to be even slow. :-(

It's not something critical to me, I just whant to know what happens. :-/

Really don't know what is happening here...

thank you !

see you !
