Didn't help. Still maxing out around 5-6mb/s.

I should point out that I'm transferring from my terraserver, it's linux
based as far as I know. Other machines in the house get 10x that transfer
rate as vista does. I'm going to have to try to transfer between Vista and
XP to see if that goes faster, that may give us more information.
