Please provide more details. What filesystem does the server use
(ext2/3, reiserfs, jfs, xfs, ...)? Are you using nfs, shfs, afs,
smbfs, ...? What are the hardware specs for the server? How much RAM?
How fast is it? What about the client specs? Is the client running
Linux too? Is the client that uploads the 600MB file the same one that
is attempting to play the music? What is the network like? 100Mbps
ethernet? Are the client and server on the same subnet? Same hub or
switch? How many other computers are using the network? What music
player are you using?
