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.
See http://www.errror.org/smbfs-lfs.html. The server I wanted to copy the file from is still running Woody and a 2.4.20 kernel. It has been doing so flawlessly for the last three years, running as a mail server. I wanted to upgrade it to testing, but the disks start to fail. It'll get new disks and a fresh install of testing this weekend ... Newer versions of SAMBA using CIFS seem to have overcome the limit. GH
