Your setup is ok. The only problem you are facing is that samba is a
very "chatty" program, it tends to communicate a lot outside of simply
downloading something. What i am trying to say is that, you will have
some upload when in reality you are downloading something. This being
true, when you begin uploading something, your upload line becomes full
and, the upload chat for the download slows down, this in turn slowing
down your download. I'm sorry if what I'm saying is hard to read. Try
using some other protocol to run your tests. I was using for this
purpose a Linux utility but i can't remember how it was called.
