Hi all,

I'm seeing slow transfers to/from my samba server. I just tried to copy a 270MB file from a samba share to an XP machine. At first, the estimated time displayed as 141 minutes :(

The odd thing is that if I then flood-ping from the server (in this case, I pinged my dsl router), the transfer completes in about 10 seconds. Hitting F5 repeatedly when browsing a share on the server also causes an increase of speed. I seem to get *more* throughput when there's a higher load.. Watching a video off a samba share is quite choppy and keeps stopping but leaving the ping running seems to fix it.

Any ideas? My google powers fail me..
