This problem has been bugging me for month now. It started
happening a month after 3.8 got tagged. At least, that's when I
started noticing it. So it might be anything. But I suspect the
OpenBSD side the most since returning to an older Linux release on
the client from a liveCD didn't fix the problem. The OpenBSD
server doesn't have a CD-drive.
OpenBSD server <-> linux client
Both rtl8169 gigabit networkcards
Uploading to the server goes with 11Mbytes/s, the speedlimit of
the ide harddrives, but the downloading goes with erratic
speeds. 1Mbyte/s at best, 100Kbyte/s most of the time, sometimes
no more than 20Kbytes/s
and if you use a different protocol (ftp, http)?
Yes, I tried ftp and rsync over ssh and nfs. All three have the same problems.
anything unusual in netstat -s?

Hi Han
Could be far-fetched but a friend of mine working at an airline company
recently had a problem with a NFS server. Lousy performance when getting
data (not putting) from most clients (but not all) until they discovered
diffs in size of the transmit/receive bufferes. When fixed users felt
like going from walking to flying both ways.
They do not use OpenBSD but the have different arch and OS as well i.e.
might be a similar/related problem.
I read an article recently about the tux kernel hackers working on a
"auto sensing" feature for the upcomming 2.6.whatever dealing with this.
The test result was quite impressive with performance gains x 10-20 and
above.
I could be a victim of christmas-lag (too much food, dark strong beer
and snaps [danish strong alcoholic drink]) or it could be related.
Just a thought.
