Speed problem

Mermgfurt !

I have some problem with syncing two machines which are connected
over a Gigabit-connection. I'm trying to use rsync with ssh because of
the authorisation mechanisms (keys). It starts quite ok with 18 MB/s
(this small speed may have something to do with our internal net)
and falls down to 400 KB/s (!!!). This happens over a long period
because those files I want to copy are very big (upto 70 GB per file).
Even though I tried to increase the blocking size the speed just goes
down and won't go up again. In fact it really writes 18 MB/s, it's not
just a problem of -partial or something similar. Ok, I haven't tried
it without ssh yet, but it really looks very strange.
The version is the rsync 2.5.6cvs version from debian-unstable.

Thanks for any help !

Mermgfurt,
		Udo
