I have a small network at home (2 machines. One running FreeBSD another running Windows95). Copying a large file _from_ the FreeBSD box to the local hard drive I get around 20 Kb/sec. Copying large file _from_ the Windows95 box to the FreeBSD box I get around 350 Kb/sec. This seems very strange to me. Does anybody have some suggestions as to what I can do to speed up reads?
