Is your wired connection connected to your router at 100 Mbit? I get almost full 100 Mbit speed on a local FTP transfer (downloads at over 11 Megabytes per second).

I don't know, I get those values on Windows, but not on Aros.

In twenty years of using Aros, I've downloaded at a maximum speed of 400kb. I don't know what else to add.

I also get such low speeds when downloading from the Internet. Only transfers across my LAN are fast.

It seems to be a problem with every driver, so it might be an AROSTCP problem.

I also tried the device at 64-bit, it works properly even with AROS despite having 2 GB of RAM

deadwood I think this laptop can be added to the recommended hardware list, it has a supported graphics card and network card and costs little

It's great that this hardware works nice and I see that it's already updated as such in general HCL list.

The recommended list however has also availability requirement: a person needs to be able to buy a recommended hardware easily second-hand. I checked my local auction sites as well as ebay and there were only 2 machines available, so it's not something someone can easily purchase.

Yes, unfortunatelly so. We are probably looking at ~2013 or newer hardware for good availability and low price.

I don't know how to explain myself about the fact that the graphics card is compatible. I bought this laptop model some time ago and I realized this thing.

I have a graphics card on my desktop PC, it's an Nvidia 8400 GS, and it is compatible, but not on laptops.

I will investigate, I think that Acer laptops from some time ago are supported at least as far as the graphics card is concerned
