 around 11MB/s on my LAN. So there's still a x2 factor missing somewhere.

 usually negogiating `aes256-ctr` wheras OpenSSH prefers`aes128-ctr`. You
 could put the weaker cipher on top in `BlockCipherFactory.java` for
 testing.

 So more info on this :

 I try sftp with the -o Ciphers=aes256-ctr option. The download speed is
 around the same than previously. But the window size looks like the same
 as the one used by cyberduck (which looks great :). So the download speed
 issue is still there. I will try to switch to weaker cipher as suggested
 in cyberduck, but not sure it's the issue.

 Caeies
