What protocol are you using for file sharing? What kind of performance are you getting right now, in MB/sec? – Nic – 2010-03-22T03:29:07.453

The protocol used by Windows file sharing (SMB) is very inefficient compared to some other options. I like NFS on Unix/Linux systems but have never used it on Mac or PC. You could also try SCP or FTP to transfer individual files.
