I recently reworked my network and made my G4 Cube an IPSEC tunneling

Here is the CPU stats on mars:
CPU states: 0.4% user, 0.0% nice, 11.4% system, 4.4% interrupt,
83.9% idle
in a "systat vmstat 1" it shows that the gem0 card is at 1300
interrupts and packets in out are both around 1300 as well. Is this
the limit with these cards? Here is what mars is doing:
it gets 5 Mbit/s worth of traffic, it then encapsulates it in a gif0
and encapsulates that with IPSEC (running iked for key management). It
then sends a bit more than 5 Mbit/s to Jupiter.

OK I'M answering my own post because I was wrong. I was naive to think
that the cloud storage provider wasn't capping/bandwidth shaping the
download. From my VPS which I know isn't capped I got the following
download speed with FTP:
100% |**************************************************| 56256 KB 00:36
57606221 bytes received in 36.04 seconds (1.52 MB/s)
While this happened mars's CPU looked like this from top:
load averages: 0.36, 0.31, 0.26 mars.centroid.eu 17:38:09
22 processes: 21 idle, 1 on processor
CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 51.6% system, 4.9% interrupt, 43.5%
idle
Memory: Real: 12M/175M act/tot Free: 558M Cache: 144M Swap: 0K/1024M
So I'M just gonna say the problem solved itself and sorry for the noise.
