thanks for your comments.
I think I can't do anything, I'm at the top of my performance.
Copying a big file from a server A to a laptop B using another computer C
use 100% of the bandwith of the computer C (50% read 50% write).
but I just realized that in full duplex mode I could use more then "100%"(?)
if I can read & write at the same time...
