Everybody talking about speed, you know, Miami isn't that slow.  I'm sure if you run a speedtest it'll score lower than Roadshow and the others, but in terms of actual, "real-world" use, on my A2000 with X-Surf 100 and basic 100Mbps connection I can download just about any file on Aminet in a second.  And when browsing the web, Ibrowse takes longer to render the page than it does to download it.  So it's not like Miami's really "that slow", haha.  ;)

No miami is slow.. its like saying zorro2 isnt much slower than zorro3.. its night and day :D  lol

That being said i love the miami gui also,since it was so handy to setup many interfaces and such for testing multiple eithernet cards. I use roadshow exclusively now though.
After all i badgered poor olsen for what seemed like a year to release Roadshow way back when.

Okay, okay.  Bust my balls already, I was just trying to say "it's not slow like 2400 baud modem slow", hence the liberal sprinkling of quotation marks in my comment.  But I guess maybe to you guys it does seem that slow.  Perhaps I need to work on my euphamisms a bit.  ;)  ....  And often there can be other bottlenecks - like Ibrowse taking longer to render a web page than it does for Miami + my network card to load it.  But then again, it does make a difference what you do with your system - are there really that many people transferring whole movies to their Amiga?  ;)  I would definitely be interested to learn the name of Amiga backup software that works over a network connection?  :)

Yeah yeah, TL;DR.  I gotta try Roadshow one of these days.  In the meantime here's a screenshot of another method of setting the clock via NTP with Miami:

NTPSync

Hah hah dont take it as an attack, it wasn't meant that way, seriously though, On a zorro2 bottleneck machine you are not likely to see much difference, but with gfx and 100Mbit zorro 3 it is noticeable. Ibrowse again is pretty snappy on 060 especially with javascript off, but as you say,we are in sad times browser wise with the changes.

svdc movies do work on amiga, so yea some of us crazy people do that. I could almost play a divx movie under os4 on the csppc using mplayer iirc?, it would likely work if i had stachu tune it up to say 360mhz+ but i dont have the cash. vcd/svcd works under 060 reasonably well.

As for amiga backup software, you don't need any really, just do a copy all clone and back up the whole deal :D send the file whereever you want it, worst case lha it i guess.

Ntpsync is great, i used it for years.
