Just gave it a try and you're right, it seems nice and snappy. I'm used to these sorts of devices having awful throughput on ethernet ports - should have checked first!
raydon, thanks for your input. I feel slightly duped now because I'd mostly done that myself (deleted the sh script) and was about to explain how I'd fixed it :). I used your method to reapply the patch over telnet and that seems to have worked fine too. Just pulled a HD recording to my PC...
