Total Commander

File transfer speed seems very low while transferring files over the network with LAN plugin. I measured the download speed with Network Speed application, and it never showed more than 800 Kb/s, whereas the speed of a streaming video (from the same PC on the network via the very same LAN plugin) measured plausible 1.3-1.5 Mb/s (PC-PC transfers via TC show the same speed).

yeap, LAN plugin is very slow. known fact…

Unfortunately the Java implementation of SMB protocol isn't very fast indeed. If you can, try using a different protocol.

in Solid explorer transfer speed is faster, 1,4-1,9 mb/s

while streaming via LAN plugin it shows 2,2+ mb/s http://troloload.ru/f/18386_screenshot_2014-01-15-13-37-07.png

p.s. transfer speed counter is shown in the upper right corner

Are you suggesting I should disable SMB?

No, just use some other server type if the server offers it, e.g. FTP, WebDAV etc.
