I was thinking there might be something else at work too, perhaps a
configuration issue instead of (or inaddition to) a hardware problem?
I regularly transfer ~9GB files across my [100mbit] network from a Sarge
server to any number of Linux workstations as well as a Windows MCE set top
box. Everything is stored on Samba shares using CIFS. I've never gotten any
errors and my transfer times are usually very reasonable.
