Slow stransfer speed over SMB and FTP
As in the topic. Maximum for both protocols is around 10 MB/sec (stable). Checked with Windows 7 x64, addtionally with nastester 1.7 OS 6.6.0 AV - On/Off (doesn't matter), currently Off BitRotP...
Ok, i run some tests (some of them I should do as first wave :(). From all computers in my lab, Win XP, 7 x64, x86, 10, Vista - 10 MB/s. I once again connected my computer with NAS directly and ... yuupi - transfers - 50-80 MB/s. So, the problem is clearly at the network. The infrastructure I can check - all 1Gb/s. There must be a bottleneck hardware I can't see. Or, my Net Administator set 100Mb/s cap for all users, since transfer with other servers ( e.g. Win 2008 Server) also can not exceed 10Mb/s.
I will talk with him tommorow and give an info where to look. So, StephenB - your original idea about network speed was good :)

About ReadyCLOUD - I wasn't planning to use it (many different users with relatively commplicated shared folders access, Read only, groups etc) but, At least for testing purposes, Ill check it tommorow.
No need to test ReadyCloud. If you had been using it, it was possible that the transfers were being routed through the ReadyCloud servers. Since its not running, that possibility is ruled out.

Let us know when you get it resolved.
The final info is : one of the router working in our network was (in fact still is, for the moment :) oddly corupted. It's working, it even claiming that transfer is at 1Gb/s, but at the same times it spits multiple errors. So, one broken thing end the entire network was dramatically slowed down.
Nevertheless, mistery solved :)
