The ever helpful cjb and Mitch_Bradley directed me to the root of the
problem, the USB-ethernet devices I am using are USB 1.1 which has
horrible throughput. A USB-ethernet device that supports USB 2.0 should
fix the problem.
Mitch_Bradley: great, do u think I can buy a usb2 ethernet nic

That's grea

find out if your usb NIC
