Speed of protocol fish

[Werner Modenbach]

Hi John,

thanks for your fast answer.
As far as I understand fish is the same than using scp except it isn't on a 
command line but implemented as a protocol in KDE.
When using scp in a shell transfers are significantly faster!!!
You can easily verify that by copying a large file i.e. a CD ISO image to a 
server using both methods.
To my knowledge there is no option in konqueror or KDE to manipulate chunk 
sizes.
