A - HUGE!! LAN Speed Test now builds the large test files on the fly in 1 MB chunks instead of the whole thing at once.  Now you can test with an unlimited sized test packet and LAN Speed Test will still only take a maximum of 10 MB of your RAM!  This works when testing to a shared folder or to the LST Server.

C - All results are now correctly displayed as decimal instead of binary (i.e. 1 MB = 1,000,000 instead of 1,048,576)
