I built myself a new computer and it had a gigabit ethernet card built into
the mobo. The network in my house had all 100 megabit hardware. But it
bothered me that I had this 1 Gb NIC and it wasn't being utilized fully. So
I went out and bought a gigabit switch and a gigabit NIC for my file server.
The problem is that file transfers aren't as fast as I think they should be.
According to sftp, I get transfer rates of 1.5 megabyte per second. One
gigabit is 125 megabytes. I know there's overhead but, holy cow...
Shouldn't I be getting transfer rates around 50 to 100 Mb per second?
Maybe it's the cables. I had somebody read what it says on the cable from my
file server to the switch and it says it's cat 5. Do I need cat 5e or cat 6?
