how about a plain netcat (nc)? "a couple of seconds" for a 700mb iso in a 100Mbps line? that's like 350mBytes/sec on a 100mbits/sec line. baka naka-cache sa browser mo or something.
maybe scp is using ssh and has encryption and compression overheads. and nfs, no wonder. i guess samba should be slower. before you 'revert' to an older installation you can try some linux livecds with different distributions, kernels, glibc's, etc... knoppix, morphix, tomsrtbt, are some i use.
