When I am copying to my 00 server over gig, I max out at about 60M/sec... I
know the server (disks) can go faster than that, so when I get a chance over
the holidays, I am going to run a couple more cat5 cables to the basement,
and bond them on my desktop down to the switch for a 2G connection -
obviously need to do the same to the server as well, but that shouldn't be
too much of an issue.
