Hi. I ran the tests as below. For some reason iperf is not working as on your 
example. I also tried it on Dapper, and Debian Etch (on the same machine), 
where Gftp gets the directory listing as soon as I click enter, and transfers 
are quick, but iperf shows the same as below which was from Intrepid.

So the situation is that Gftp on Dapper, and Debian Etch transfer files at 
high speed, but Gutsy, Hardy, and Intrepid transfer really slowly, like the 
connection is somehow throttled.
