Anson, Can you try setting the NIC to 10Mbps/Half and Full Duplex to see if the transfer times improve?
I put in a switch a while back , and have a Lexmark Optra printer with a NIC capable\ of 10/100. The LAN cabling is shielded CAT3. The Optra would negotiate to 100Mbps with the switch, but printing took forever. I locked the NIC at 10Mbps, and normal printing resumed immediately. Sounds a little like your problem. I suspect something similar on your connection; CAT3/CAT4 cabling or bad cabling, and the NIC negotiating a higher connection speed than is actually supported. Hope this helps.
