Network speed ups and downs

Hey Gang

im sure this has been explained somewhere but i am going fire it out there. I have been transferring video files from one workstation to a server to hold them for editing later. What i am see is this

the file starts out fast then settles to about 20Mb per second which is somewhat slow considering its on a 1gb network. then i drops down to 0 bytes then back to 20 for a while then back down to 0 bytes

now i understand that its going to a Mechanical hard dive but i should be getting around 100mb on that file transfer. However its the up and down to zero that has me a but perplexed.

Any ideas to tweak it that could combat that..

oh yeah its all on a windows network..

So this is on a LAN then? If so and no access to your modem for internet it could be the NIC on either side, could be the CPU the HDDs are very much slow down points and how great a distance is it and what type of Ethernet you using? Is one machine older than the other?
