Thanks for that one, Lopaka. That sounds like something I can feed the
local guy to suggest. The ticket for slow network has been in to the
third-party IT for seven months now. I'm not the only one that
experiences the problem but it seems to vary throughout the department.
I'm not even sure if everyone in the area is on the same router. Plus,
the fact that I'm just a user and not IT means I can only cause so much
trouble. ;-)

Not sure if this helps but I have a couple netgear switches that I have to
reboot about 1x every month when I notice slowdowns during large file
transfers. Once rebooted the network throughput goes back to normal. (IE
goes from about 10 mbps to 75mbps). Seems weird to me but always fixes the
issue

So this is an internal link? What is the link speed? When you check
taskmgr, what is your network utilization?
It sounds to me like an overloaded link or a switch issue.
Never heard of slow transfers due to low disk space.

Ok, I need some advice from people I trust. The company I work for
had transitioned from in-house IT to Bell Technologies, so we
obviously swimming in 'tickets'. We have a main data drive on the
network, the 'K' drive and I've had a ticket in for about 8 months now
on slow transfers. The symptoms are this: When transferring a number
of files from a laptop/desktop, there will be data transfer for about
1 to 2 seconds, then 20 to 30 seconds of nothing. Rinse and repeat.
I've also noticed that if you transfer a single file, most of the time
it will transfer 99%, then you have 20 to 30 seconds of waiting until
it finishes.
Now to the question. I've just been told that slow transfers happen
when there is low disk space. Obviously we have a lot of users
accessing the network drive but the slow phenomenon wasn't present
some time ago and has been persisting for a couple of years now. Is
this third-party IT organization correct or blowing smoke. I have
been lied to before by them.
Thanks...Steve
