If I only copy one file I get a network performance of about 1,2 MB/s on a 100MBit full-duplex line (both computers are connected via crossover cable (cat. 5)). If I copy for example 5 files at the same time I get a network performance of about 6 MB/s. Can anyone give some advise how to improve the performance for single files. It would be nice if single files were copied with 6MB/s too. Samba is running as standalone daemon (not invoked by inetd).
