Slow netwok transfer

I am trying to transfer files to a USB 2.0 powered HDD connected to the pi (iva powered hub) and I get less than 100Kb speed.

I am connecting via a gigabit switch and 100Mb router and feel that it should be a lot more than this.

I have tried from a windows 7 laptop via 'drag n drop' and winscp32 and both have the same issue. Plugging the HDD into the laptop and all is fast, so that's not the issue.

I had a search on here and can't see any other problems like this..... Anyone have any bright ideas that would help?

Fastest transfer over network will be with FTP, SMB has quite a bit of overhead.

That being said I get about 1.25 Megabytes per second over SMB on my pi, you definitely have an issue.

Try FTP and see if that improves you throughput, if not it is a network issue. Then you can proceed with diagnosis of the network.
