        what are you downloading?

        There are two endpoints to consider stable speed, your end and the file server's end.

              Did you try by-passing the firewall during the issue to see if it went away?

                Direct from Router to PC is stable.

                Pfsense proxy bypass IP also not stable

                  Proxy? You never mentioned anything about additional intercepting services that may be doing stuff behind the scenes. Do you have anything else running? Snort?

                  What does your System Activity look like when doing these transfers?

                      Smoothwall's last update is over a year old and no talk of new ones. Is the project dead? meh

                          Smoothwall Express ie the opensource version doesnt support vlans for a start, didnt go beyond that.

                            Nobody said it was worth anything other than the OP ;)  Pretty useless in feature set compared to pfsense for sure..  I was just remarking that its still being developed is all..

                            I highly doubt the OP went to the commercial version.. But sure maybe..
