Wow, that's amazing. I never got much above 60 Mbps even with hlshd.

No, the only thing I use wifi for is my phones. I'm old school, 
everything is hard wired Gigabit with a mix of Cat5/5e cables. I get 220 
Mbps on speednet and, as I said, was typically getting around 50 Mbps on 
hlshd a few days ago (and nothing has changed hardware-wise in the 
meantime).

Since posting, I tried hvfhd2 and got 50 Mbps initially, but a while 
later it was maxing out at around 25 Mbps. I do most of my downloading 
overnight, so it's not crucial. I've rescheduled the timing of my 
download batch files and I'm forcing hvfhd2 for now, so I'll keep an eye 
on transfer speeds.

Best wishes

Alan
