Excellent. Easy to build and stabilizes the samba connection very well, with Debian Lenny and Windows 7 on a 100Mb/s regular ethernet connection.

Before when I was transferring a file and listening to a FLAC from a shared folder on the debian box the audio would sometimes drop out, while the file transferred between 10 -13 MB/s. With LLTD I was uploading a torrent with rtorrent at 118KB/s (max for the line is 140), copying a 11gig file to Windoze while listening to Vivaldi with no interruptions at a solid 11MB/s, very little fluctuation in the rate.

Thanks.

N.B The neverfear wget download gets a 404 so I just nano'd and copy pasta'd the script from the guide.
