This is a very small testfile. The speed is so slow because the peers wait a 
lot, hoping to get more traffic. While I get the same speed for such very 
small files, I get several kilobytes (depending on config, filesize, etc.) 
for significantly larger files.

And btw, you again seem to miss the point of GNUnet's AFS: provide anonymity. 
(s)ftp won't give you that.
