I recently came across a Mac OS X Network Tuning Guide, which has some really good tips.

I got most out of the tip where he suggests adding these lines to your sysctl.conf:

kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=500000
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=250000
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=250000


This upped the speed quite a bit on my gigabit network.
