I'm using the D-Link 615-DIR, with two computers wired directly to it via ethernet. I'm transferring between the computers at a whopping 5mb/s. Considering the file is 100GB, Owies.

Anyone got any idea why it's running so slow? Both computers report speeds of 100mbps LAN connection, so what could be slowing it here?

Edit: If I'm thinking correctly, Windows shows connection speeds as mbps, whereas file transfers as MBps, so theoretically my max transfer speed is 12mbps, which is pretty lame =-P But still it would increase my transfers speed, any advice?
