I've had similar problems quite a bit. After a while I just installed
pure-ftpd on Gentoo and used smart ftp on Windows. It still took a long
time but seemed to go much faster than that smb stuff.

OK well I give up
Situation :-
Transfer 39Mb file from
gentoo -> XP share using Konqueror trans time <=25 seconds [XP share
mounted smb using Linneibourhood]
Transfer 39Mb file from
gentoo -> XP share using winXP copy trans time >=5 mins [gentoo smb
directory to XP share dir ie. XP shared dir Not mounted]
So this is same file moving from same computer to same computer over
same network with NO changes except that "pushing" the file from linux
is massively quicker than "calling" the file from win.
I realise that there is probably a valid technical explanation for
this behaviour that is Beyond Our Level Of Current Knowledge [Sir]
however should it really be so hard to do this for an average user?

ps. Solution is simple send letter bomb to M$ though it may take a
long while to get there unless I use a m$ proprietory letter carrier.
pps. Apologies if I am using this list for my rant, it was valid
untill this last post. It ends here

I agree in that I am using whichever tool is available to measure the
speed eg. konqueror file transfer dialog or bmon to monitor rate
however I am not talking optmisations here where the same tool would
be necessary
eg. win to lin 39Mb file > 6 minites
win to win 39Mb file <20 seconds all on same hardware and network
The network itself comprises 10/100 nic's and a linksys WAG54G
gateway/router which again is 10/100.

Well ..
After writing all of this I went back to playing with it all and I
"think" I have somthing that could be considered to be acceptable.
using figures above I have acheived a speed [konqueror dialog] of around
2.6Mb/s ~ 22.6Mbps on a 300Mb file
which is a dramatic improvement really, though I have got to the point
where I have chased the issue round and up my .....
but that said transfers are not painful so I seem to have a reasonable
resolution
Thanks for reading.

ps. The quicker I can cut my families ties to Mr Gates the better.

How are you measuring this? My first suspicion is that you are
measuring on your machine and trying to compare the figures from
different tools running on different OS's.
You also dont say what type of network this is over - 10/100/1000 ??
Also what hardware and drivers?

Hi
I have a home LAN with a mix of dual boot, XP and Gentoo[<-- mine].
Now the basic problem is this :-
Transfer of file [eg. 200Mb]
Dual boot on XP -- XP speed approx 50Mbps
Dual boot on linux -- XP speed <= 1Mbps
