Great. Thanks, Alexey.

I still think it would be useful to have these three pieces of data
for a slow/3.2.x transfer (from a geographically distant server) if
you have a sec:

- tcpdump of first 300 or so packets to see SYN/SYNACK options and RTT

- tcpdump of _last_ 300 or so packets, to see the steady-state dynamics
 with receiver window and packet inter-arrival times

- summary of overall throughput wget sees on that transfer

This should help establish whether the receiver window is really the
limiting factor in the slow cases.
