I'm not the one in charge of the switch, so I've just been trying to figure out exactly what the problem is. I first noticed that going from a different subnet to the subnet/switch in question was going at a reasonable rate considering it had to go accross the street on a shared 100mbs link and back. So, I plugged my workstation into the subnet and switch in question, started transfering the file, and got around 10kbs per seccond. Traffic to the outside world continues normally.

So, I fire up netcat to do some experimenting. Transfers to the machine from the local subnet go at 10kilobits/sec at the maximum, but transfers from the machine go at least 1megabytes/sec. Maybe it's just a bad cable, but I don't want to disconnect it as it's the machine hosting the central image I just posted.

So for the moment I'm giving up.
