I have a setup where I need to transfer large media workfiles (AVI) from my home to my cabin when I'm working at the cabin. It has a rather slow line, but I can go up to around 3 MB/s at the most. It will start up at a good speed (1-3 somewhere, and then after from half a minute and up to a few minutes sink down to nothing, stay there for between half a minute and a minute and then go right up again. I have tried the mssfix option, which in my case has the correct value of 1330 (MTU on 1370) from the ping command, but even lowering it to 1300 doesn't fix this. Actually it doesn't seem to make any change at all. Also if I stop a transfer it just stands there on "stopping", until I close the transfer window. I know it's something with the link because I can do the same transfer with FTP and that will start on full speed and stay there until the file is down. I have a ping running at the same time, and that never looses connection.
Here's the configs:
dev tun
proto udp4
tls-server
ca "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\ca.crt"
cert "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\server.crt"
key "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\server.key"
dh "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\dh2048.pem"
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2
comp-lzo
keepalive 10 60
ping-timer-rem
persist-tun
persist-key
cipher AES-256-CBC
proto udp
tls-client
dev tun
remote my.ip 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ifconfig 10.8.0.2 10.8.0.1
remote-cert-tls server
ca ca.crt
cert cabin.crt
key cabin.key
cipher AES-256-CBC
mssfix 1300
comp-lzo
verb 3
Does anybody have a clue as to what this can be?

Oh, btw do I find the correct MTU (not that it helps here, I just tried with 1100, which is probably just ridiculous) by pinging something on the web, or by pinging the server on the other end of the link?
