Interesting.
But then, how did I get a connection with 20+ MB/s transfer speed between 2 PCs using crossover cable ?

And in the end, please tell me how can I improve the speed trasnfer of very big files. And I mean BIG ones (4,5 - 13 GB files - movies encoded 720p or 1080p)

I need faster connection in order to transfer them whenever I want from the desktop to the laptop.

PS:
I did try to copy from each end of the connection, and indeed, there was a difference at that point in time:

Objective: copying a file from desktop to laptop
1. copying using the laptop gave about 12 MB/s
2. copying using the desktop gave about 10 MB/s

PS2:
However, trying to copy one file FROM laptop TO the desktop, while operating on the laptop, did lead me to a very surprising result: 20+ MB/s

As long as I don't have any server OS on any of the machines, how can I make the connection work as fast on each direction ?
