I was able to reproduce slow, packet-lossy network transfers, so I power cycled my switch, but that didn't help. Then I moved my network cable to another port on the switch, and it was fine. I made a new cable, from stranded CAT6 this time (stranded is better for crimp connectors than solid), put it in the original port, and everything's still fine, after a couple terabytes worth of backup.
So, in short, if you have network problems, suspect network problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Got Input? Slashdot Needs You.
