I'm copying 836MB to the server, and it's quoting time of 22 minutes.
Possibly a dodgy / overworked switch between you and the server?

I know that at work, most of our network is gigabit, but some of the switches give a lot slower speed, even though they are all 3com (although we have two or three models) and all gigabit capable.
