Well, that's very very odd (obviously). Have you disabled ipv6 
and attempted to restart the networking to see if that functions 
for you better? Although everyone has some different experiences 
with that it would seem, I have ipv6 enabled and haven't had any 
real issues with slow transfers.

This could be a routing problem maybe. Have you checked the 
routing on this one particular box and the router you're using? 
I've had similar issues when I forget to setup the forwarding of 
  a particular box (when I don't forward the whole subnet so on 
and so forth).

There are many many suggestions on how to turn off ipv6. In 
short this is what others have done.

Add to /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias net-pf-10 off

You may want to also edit the device config file: ifcfg-eth0 to 
something (suiting your purposes of course) like below:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=DHCP
onBOOT=yes
DHCP_Hostname = Foo
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INT=no
IPADDR=192.168.1.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Or maybe you've figured this out already?
