    What kind of Internet connection is it? Since you say, 8 Mbps, I'm
    guessing either a DSL or Cable modem connection; these are the only 8
    Mbps Internet connections I'm aware of.

    Those connections are asymmetric. The 8 Mbps would only apply TO your
    system. The upload speed is typically much slower; in fact, 3 Mbps
    sounds like you would be getting a very good speed; it can often be as
    slow as 1 Mbps or less.

    If you have a different type of Internet connection, obviously that
    does
    not apply.

The connection is 8Mbps up and down.  As mentioned, backups of Linux 
machines to the same remote storage run at the full 8Mbps.  Also, FTP 
from the same Windows machine to the same remote machine runs at the 
full 8Mbps.  I'm still stumped as to where that 3Mbps cap may be coming 
from for Windows clients only.
