Seems to be a speed limit somewhere but...

Hi,
I have quite a fast line (1Gb/s down / 250Mb/s up - fiber-FTTH) which commonly downloads at 115MB/s (Blizzard, Steam, Speedtest.net) and uploads at 35MB/s. I have to use an SSD otherwise hard drives can barely follow.
Ping is 2ms to google.
I'm using Filezilla server for Windows and all my friends seem limited to 2MB/s per file. If they launch 2 files they will get 2MB/s for each file (4MB/s in total) and for 3 files at a time they seem to be capped at 5MB/s (each file gets 1.6 to 1.7MB/s).
When I use filezilla client to upload files to my website hoster's FTP I can upload at ~30MB/s so all my available bandwidth is used.
Note I'm using FTPS but I can't think of a logic behind a 2MB/s limit per thread because of encryption, and by the way my CPU is near to idle, so he's not involved in this behaviour.
Any idea why it's limited?
Cheers
