The biggest bottleneck here seemes to be the USB option. From wikipedia even USB 1.0 lowspeed mode should manage 1.5 Mbps. But maybe the combination of the subway/SMC EZ/WNCE2001 is the problem.
It would be interesting to know what causes this slowdown.
Have you tested the Subway USB/SMC EZ with ethernet cable direct to your windows server og via your router?C
If its still very slow, test the subway for USB transfer speeds (direct to a usb storage).
Then test the SMC EZ itself on another computer (windows/mac), just to see if the amiga drivers could be the problem.

USB mass storage on subway only goes 250k/sec max. Even though subway supports USB  2.0 protocol standard, it can't achieve even 1.0 speeds over the clock port. I doubt other USB adapters would do much better.

I could run the test with a long Ethernet cable and eliminate the power line adapter but the computer running the FTP server is also on a power line adapter. I only have one extra long cable,
