Weird ftp speeds

[minendo]

Currently I use SmartFTP to transfer files between my main rig and my HTPC. The HTPC runs cerberus as the ftp server. When I upload to the HTPC speeds are as expected, however when downloading from the HTPC I max out at 85KB/s. What would be the cause of this? Any fixes?

Both machines are running WinXP Pro.

Anyone?

This issue only happens when transferring between my main rig and the HTPC.

wow, that ain't right.

Any chance its a disk problem?

Also swap cables just to make sure and check that network cards are set for auto detect speed/duplex (I'm assuming you're using a switch?)
