35-50MB/s here
Authored by: pumilamac on Jul 03, '07 03:28:12AM

My old G4 Quicksilver Towers transfer files at about 35MB/s over AFP directly to each other. My newer G5 Towers (June 2004 and Late 2005) transfer at 50MB/s minimum over AFP on a home network switch.

I don't know if there is something wrong with your set up but it sure seems odd to me. I'm transferring lots of large files over the network (100-1000 MB per file) so it's not unusual for copies to take half and hour or so. If you're copying lots of small files it may be slower but I would think it would still hit 12MB/s.

Anyway here is another vote for fixing the hang when a network share is lost. Does anyone know if you can change the timeout setting?
