This is HTTP or FTP traffic. BitTorrent traffic seems to be equally
affected although the multiple simultaneous connections seem to help.
I do have my ports forwarded, as well:
DNAT net loc:192.168.1.7 tcp 6900:6909
DNAT net loc:192.168.1.7 udp 6900:6909
DNAT net loc:192.168.1.6 tcp 6980:6999
DNAT net loc:192.168.1.6 udp 6980:6999
(I don't know if the UDP rules are needed for BitTorrent, but I think
they are useful for eMule/eDonkey. BitTornado is configured for the
above ports and I've tested this on several trackers including
pj.sidewalkcrusaders and alluvion.org)

It's not impossible that this is a problem with one of the NICs. I
will try reseating them. Is there any good way that I can do something
like a download of /dev/zero to test my download speeds from the
router itself?
I don't think I explained the "different IP" well enough. I get
assigned an from a completely different range IP and also a different
gateway:
Slow LEAF box:
linux-router-i486# ip addr show eth0
3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOTRAILERS,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:20:af:17:57:b2 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 71.72.x.x/22 brd 255.255.255.255 scope global eth0
linux-router-i486# ip route
192.168.3.0/24 dev eth3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.3.1
192.168.2.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.2.1
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.1
71.72.x.x/22 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 71.72.x.x
default via 71.72.96.1 dev eth0
Fast WinXP box:
(From Network Connection Details)
IP Address: 75.185.x.x
Subnet Mask: 255.255.252.0
Default Gateway: 75.185.24.1
DHCP Server: 65.24.6.194 (How do I get this on LEAF?)
So the actual network that I'm connecting to is, to me, vastly
different. It could be that my router is connecting to a very busy or
poorly-configured network link and my laptop is connecting to a
less-busy or correctly-configured network.
