Package: samba
Version: 3.0.24-6etch9
Severity: important



Etch server running samba (amd64) as domain member. SMP.

Windows XP SP2 client, logged on to samba domain. When copying a file
from the Samba-server download speed is terrible, estimate 10-15 minutes
for a ~150MB file.

Connectivity between computers ok. iperf says 92Mbit/s, scp (cygwin) copies the same file from the same etch-server in under 10s 7-8MByte/s. Downloading with firefox on windows using file:///server/share/... gets around 120KB/sec,
as does copying the file in Windows Explorer. copy in cmd.exe is slow too.

Copying is slow both from UNC-paths and from a mapped drive.

However, if I in the same session start copying another file, the download speed increases massively and the download takes just ~20s or less. It is
even enough if I use smbclient from another computer to download any other
file, while that download is running both instances are fast, until the
other stops. After this the remaining download is slow again, and the estimate fron Windows Explorer starts ticking minutes. It is even enough if a another domain user, using another client windows-computer starts
a download of another file and both instances speed up.

I built a samba-3.0.28 packages (sid) and installed that, no avail.

I have been playing around with different socket options to no avail.
