is it 100MB/sec or 100Mb/sec?. Can you show the output of the command
Code:
sudo /sbin/ethtool eth0

It seems the NIC is of 100 Mb speed. So the 10MB speed you are getting is correct. Note the difference between upper case B and small case b

Your numbers are correct and nothing is wrong. The network adapters are connected with 100 Megabit/sec and your download manager is showing you a transfer rate of 10 MegaByte/sec. On byte contains 8 Bit, so the theoretical maximum (that never will be reached) for a 100 Mb/sec connection is 12.5 MB/sec and your transfer rate of 10 MB/sec is pretty normal.

If both network cards support 1000Mb/sec you should get a transfer rate of around 100MB/sec, as long as the harddisk in the delivering computer is fast enough to handle that and the disk in the receiving computer can store at this rate (or has sufficient amount of memory to cache the data).

Again note that Upper case B means Byte and lower case b means bit. So when you say network card speed is 1000MB that is not correct. According to that, speed is 1000x8 = 8000Mb/sec. You wont get that speed any way. So do not represent the speed with upper case B because it is huge difference and cause misunderstanding and confusion as in this case.
Also if server and laptop are connected via hub/switch. Still, technically the speed depends on the speed of that hub or switch
