If I were to do a wget from the server I get like up to 100K/s Um. I think we've got unit problems here. To me 100 K/s = 100 KB / s = 100 kilobytes / s. As the 1 Mbit/s gives a theoretical maximum speed of 125 KB/sec, not including anything for protocols (VPN + UDP/IP + NFS), other traffic, delays due to latency, spam, comic particles, or the hosts of Midian. In practice, you can take link speed in Mbit / s and divide by ten to get a reasonable maximum transfer rate in MByte / s. And that's on a good day. How are you measuring that figure?
