I recently had that problem with backups on this machine, after quite 
some time with no problems.  I was able to reproduce slow, packet-lossy 
network transfers, so I power cycled my switch, but that didn't help.  
Then I moved my network cable to another port on the switch, and it was 
fine.  I made a new cable, from stranded CAT6 this time (stranded is 
better for crimp connectors than solid), put it in the original port, 
and everything's still fine, after a couple terabytes worth of backup.

So, in short, if you have network problems, suspect network problems.
