I'd suggest to checks the configuration of your NIC.
I've encounter this when my NIC was in Half duplex and the switch was in FULL duplex.
The tranfert was about 20 min for 40 Mb, and after settings the full duplex mode it take aroun 20 sec ..

i would also suggest to check dns on the server side, and the availability of ident daemon on the client server... some delays may be the result of an impossibility to resolve client's address or check the id of the client on his own computer.

What the method you are using for your FTP ? Are you using third party software for it ? eg: WS_FTP ? or using shell programmes ? In case you are using windows based third party software to do FTP, uncheck the "Passive mode" from the "Options" menu, it will be faster. :-)

Hi,
For checking whether the problem is with DNS do this
From windows PC
C:\>ftp x.x.x.x
where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the linux server. login ,put a file and get a file. Does
problem persists now ?. if no , then the problem is with DNS.

Check you Network cards speed and other settings like full-duplex . Disable auto-negotiation and give fixed speed (100mbps, full-duplex ) on the network card and your
ethernet switch port to which your linux server
is connected.
