After installing windows 7 64bit on my computer as the host operating system, copying files from the host windows to my linux virtual machine was painfully slow. After some research I found the fix to be :
Going to the control panel -> network and internet-> network connections-> right click on your physical interface -> click on configure-> click on the advanced tab.

In here make sure ipv4 checksum offloader, large send offload v2 ipv4, large send offload v2 ipv6 are disabled.

  1. Fixed my slowness issue between host (Win2K8 R2) and VM (Win2K3 R2). My Debian Lenny VMs are now fixed as well.

    MANY THANKS!
