Network file transfer speeds slow and drop off
When I initiate an sftp transfer from my server to my laptop, it will start at several hundred kB/s and then drop off to and settle at about 100kB/s. This happens with http transfers also. It's not all network traffic though because bittorrent downloads on the server regularly hit my max internet speeds of 1.5mB/s. This happens on my new router and my last one.
My hard drive isn't the problem because I don't have these slow speeds copying from the hard drive to a USB flash drive. But I still have them transfering a file over the network from the internal flash.
My server is an OLPC XO-1 which is a low power server but neither CPU or memory are pegged during transfers.
The transfer is happening over wifi in both directions.
This happens on other clients on the LAN and internet.
I have little to no packet loss in either direction.
