Sounds like network isn't utilized to full potential.
Rather strange, samba uses TCP for file copying AFAIK
and TCP should adapt nicely to bandwidth/delay charasteristics of the link.

Do http downloads from same server to same client behave the same
as samba download?

Did you try to disable TCP_NODELAY and/or sendfile?

Do tcpdump on single download stream, look close at packet timestamps
and also post it here along with your findings and try to bring attention
from _real_ TCP gurus (as oppsed to me).

You just uncovered my evil plan: I am trying to secretly spread it all
around the world.
