I just dragged a 4GB file in Dolphin to my NFS Mounted NAS. A little
circle popped into the systray area and clicking on it brings up a "Copying" box
with information about how much has been copied and what the current transfer rate is.
This goes along for a few minutes and then finally a popup comes from dolphin indicating
the transfer is complete.
That's what I'm talking about. If the circle widget has a name I don't
know it. My point is that the transfer rate is showing (say)
1.6GiB/sec (i.e. gigabytes) which is ridiculous. And of course the
transfer finishes immediately, which of course it would at that speed.
It's really not very helpful.
I also have a much slower machine (an Asus EEE) connected by WiFi, and
the indicator there is more aligned with reality, which is what makes
me think it's an artifice of buffering.
