VMWare Client slow http download

If your iPXE client shows the version number 1.0.0+ you're not using the latest version. The current version has a parentheses with the abbreviated git commit id behind the version number. Make sure you build from the master branch. Also, the main repo is on git.ipxe.org, not github (although the github repo is a mirror that is supposed to update regularly). If you have the latest version, you should also be able to see the version by typing show version.

There was some TCP improvements a while back (some time in 2013). My guess is that you're using a version that is older than this.
