A quick note for those who are finding they are getting better speeds under one OS than another, if you're using different firewall/security applications that could be it.

I found Zone Alarm was limiting me to about 2.5mb on my systems, I had put it down to the modem (tailfin) or router, but noticed a freshly formatted (and much lower spec) system was reaching 6mb+.
