I have 1Gb cards, 1Gb switches, and Cat5.e ran. Why aren't I noticing a performance boost?

I've been trying to transfer 120+GB for going on 3 hours now.

Kink in the wire, perhaps? I use CAT6 but CAT5e definitely is gigabit-compliant.

wow, fast...

well that is certainly a possibility. The computer is on the 3rd floor and I am on the 2nd. That wouldn't be good... but luckily the 120GB+ i'm transfering is an old 'server' that will be taken out of use once this is through....

Any other suggestions just in case?

how do i determin in Mbs how fast my connection is running right now? is there a setting in perf mon that i can set?
