Just wondering if anyone can answer this question posted on another forum I visit. They're getting a vast difference between DOS and Windows is that normal and what can be done about it.
Cheers Wayne ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I recently upgraded to a 10Mbit sychronous connection at work. We need to upload a lot of data - around 10Gb a week. The maximum upload we can get when using any one of several WinXP FTP apps is 47.xy Kb/second. I can have 20 streams at that speed with no problem at all (pretty much saturating the connection), but if I have one or two, it never goes above that speed. I have tried BulletProof FTP, CuteFTP, FTP Voyager, and SmartFTP. All have the same limitation. I have tried communicating with some of the software manufacturers, and had no luck. Vague answers like "hm, we'll need to look in to that" and so on. But here's the rub: if I go to a DOS prompt and use commandline FTP, when I transfer a file, I get around 280Kb/second (not unrealistic - we can FTP download from the same machine at that speed, and it is a continent away from us). Commanline FTP from a linux server on our LAN shows the 280Kb/sec upload speed as well. All this means: (1) It's not the FTP server (2) It's not our connection (3) It's not our LAN (4) It's not the FTP software This means it must be some kimda limit in WinXP, but DOS runs on WinXP as well, so maybe it is something this different apps have in common with eachother. But that's weird as well. So the question seems to be, how can I change this limit...? However, that's not what the question is. It is: With the above in mind, what setup do I need to use to get the maximum upload speed the internet can offer from my WinXP box? I desperately do not want to have to use DOS FTP. Please. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
