Slow LAN FTP Transfers with FreeBSD...

Hello, I've got a FreeBSD 6 server running on my network that I used as a file server for my main computer. However I've really become frustrated with the slow up/down speeds I'm getting, about 100KB/s, which is about as bad as if I was using a "real" server. My setup is as follows:

Code:
ISP
|
Router 
|
Hub
|
PowerLine node

[~10m]

PowerLine node
|
FreeBSD 6 Sever (256MB/450MHz Pentium)

[~3M]

Powerline node
| 
Main Computer (Win7 using FileZilla)

Here are the results of tracert:
Code:
Tracing route to 192.168.1.15 over a maximum of 30 hops

  1   319 ms   266 ms   242 ms  192.168.1.15

Trace complete.

It seems to be since we're just going over the LAN, I should really be getting at least 500KB/s+ right? Is this a PowerLine issue, cable issue, FreeBSD issue, PC hardware isssue... etc? I'd be very thankful if I can get some ideas where to start to identify the bottleneck here, thanks a lot. Smilie

NAME
theft-server - CLC-INTERCAL networking SYNOPSIS
theft-server --port=port [options] DESCRIPTION
The theft-server mediates the communication between two CLC-INTERCAL programs with the internet extension. It keeps a list of process IDs running on the current computer so it can provide lists of processes which can be engaged in INTERcal NETworking; it also responds to broadcasts allowing other CLC-INTERCAL programs on the LAN to know there is something happening on this computer. Under normal conditions, the theft-server is started automatically by a CLC-INTERCAL programs with the internet extension (unless one is already running, of course!) because the extension cannot operate without a server on the local computer. However, it is possible to start one manually, for example from a /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d. If the program is started automatically, it uses defaults for all its configuration; when started manually, it accepts the following options: -pport / --port=port Uses the given port (number or service name) for communications, instead of using the default one from a configuration file. -lseconds / --linger=seconds Waits the specified time for a connection, then exit. The default is 600 (10 minutes). The timeout applies when the program starts and also when all existing connections are closed. This allows the program to be started on demand by CLC-INTERCAL programs, and to auto- matically exit when no longer required (unless more programs start up during the timeout). This function is disabled by setting the timeout to 0 (i.e. -l0); for example, if starting the server from /etc/init.d or equivalent one would disable the timeout. -d / --debug Tells everything it's doing (on Standard Error). Also, prevents the program from detaching from the current terminal and going into the background. BUGS
