Wow, that's interesting. You say that it had good speed in both get 
and put when talking to the NT server at work? That makes it seem 
like a problem with the ftp daemon and not with the ftp client or the 
ethernet card, nor an issue with the laptop's speed as hypothesized 
earlier. Unfortunately, the ftp daemon seems to run fine for other 
users (such as ftp.netbsd.org), so it doesn't seem to be a global bug.

Got me,
