The same thing can be said for transfers between Linux and Linux. It

the transfer is initiated on a Linux box.
Missed the first part of this thread, but the above caught me eye:
I use NFS here on our 3 comp LAN and we get around 10-12 megs/s transfers.
I routinely cope big files across to my sons' comps and it surely doesn't take as long as you are describing...
I'm not really even sure what I'm supposed to be getting but it seems okay - what is a "normal" NFS transfer rate?
In a mixed Windows/ Linux environment it is easier, and from what I've read, more secure to use Samba for all file serving. I haven't used NFS for file serving so I can't comment on it's speed.
When I initiate a file transfer on a Windows machine to or from a Linux (Samba) machine I get 8-9 megs/s transfers. When I use an ftp transfer on a local network I get 11-12 meg/s transfers.
When I initiate a transfer on a Linux (Samba) box to or from another Linux(Samba) box, or to or from a Windows box, I get 3-4 meg/s tranfers. This is the one I'm trying to fix.
