I have a gigabit network with Jumbo-frames enabled. I created a 5Gig file on vista (ultimate 32-bit), and transferred it to a samba share on my ubuntu server (8.10 - with the share folder being on a RAID0 array capable of writes of 70MB/s) at a rate of 30MB/s or so (about the read speed of the vista disk). *** but, doing similar transfers in the past have been really slow too, so I can't say with confidence that it now "works". What I can say though, is that I *have* seen it work at least once... ;-) which all reminds me that today is apparently 9.04 day ....
