Probably this is an old question, but i'm not able to find nothing about...

So, i've just started to play with tc to limit the transfer speed to my 
hdsl connection. I'm using the tbf and the command

# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 10kbit latency 50ms burst 1000

Then i've tried to transfer a big (20 Mbyte) file onto my lan, using ftp 
and the client (ncftp) is saying that the average transfer speed is 
39.71 kB ( around 400 kbit). What i'm missing ?

Thnaks in advance
