Hi, I only flipped through the messages in this thread, faintly remembering someone writing something about ssh. Anyway, if you're copying using ssh (scp, sftp), then the transfer rate is much less than what you'd expect - due to the encryption/decryption overhead (unless you have hardware acceleration on both sideds). Just my two cents (Euro) on general reasons for slow data transfers.
