Depends on your CPU.

Absolutely no more than 10/11Mbits as they is the theoretical limit of the ethernet cards.

In practice more realistically like 6Mbits.

But you'd be mad to want to download large volumes of data using the Amiga, use your main PC and then transfer the data across.

IIRC Piru benchmarked cnet.device and got something about 800-900 kB/s (can not remember exact figures).
Not a particularly useful figure without knowing which CPU @ what speed.

Assume it is 060@50MHz and this probably is the top figure you'll ever get from an A1200 and that puts the maximum speed at 7Mbit/s.

I feel the figure will be lower with EC020@14MHz

PC Card 16-bit 255ns Byte mode = 3.92 MB/s
PC Card 16-bit 100ns Word mode = 20 MB/s
Amiga 1200, 14 MHz = 71 ns cycle.
Call me dumb, but what is the relevance of these stats?
