Have you done any speed tests on http and ftp transfers?

Using HTTP, I'm getting about 320KB/s when downloading a track while another is playing on the player. And a rate starting at about 10KB/s and decreasing to under 4KB/s while sending my entire player contents through your m3u method.

While the player is paused, these increase to downloads of about 660KB/s and playlist compiling/download starting at 12KB/s and ending at about 6KB/s (475KB list gets generated using the "Play All" link on the root view). That's just over 5900 tracks - my music is all within album lists within artist lists - split into two top level lists + a bunch of compilations that are equally recursive.

If this sounds correct, what's the likelihood it can be improved at some point?

With all this added functionality, I'm wondering how come no one is talking about making a nice backup program that could handle tracks and database. The communication is easier than ever with all the work already put into Hijack.

edit: Damn, the first time I posted I noticed winamp was still streaming in the background. Then I was getting downloads at about 280KB/s.
