FTP server with BB 600K

zergchen · 15-07-2004, 10:39

hi,
i've set up a ftp-server for my friend who is using V21 ADSL(512K) service and mine is 600K bb.
The problem is that the download speed is as slow as 4~5K/sec. any suggestion would be appriciated.
(btw: i have another laptop which connects BB together with the desktop by using Sygate Manager).

Your upload speed is 256k ( about 20k a second ).. your ftp software may well be throttling connections so it's worth checking that.

Upload speed on 600k is 128k (about 15k), not 256k (30k)

If downloading at the same as uploading, it will just slow connection(s) right down.

HTH.

Oops, I've been on 1mbit for so long that I forgot the lower band services were on 128k.. sorry

A connection of 4-5k a second wouldn't therefore be out of the question, other than making sure you aren't using your connection too heavily while he downloads from you I doubt you'd get much better than 10k sustained.

it seems that words here are out of my knowledge! ;-p;
but those makes sense that 600K bb for download speed of around 15K is normal,right?
thanks all of you!!!

no the upload speed is around 15k, download speed is usually between 60KB/s and 75KB/s

atlhough you probably already know this i will just clarify

upload = SENDING anything leaving your computer TO the internet is being uploaded

you have 128k of upload (upstream) bandwith which as said earlier = around about 15k sec which is the fastest you can SEND stuff.

you then have 600k of downstream (download) which works out at roughtly 74kb sec.

So assuming your not using the connection for anything else your friend will only be able to download from your ftp server at a max of 15k a second as your connection cannot send the data any faster.

if you are trying to send your friend a lot of data and have a cd burner it might be quicker to just write it to a cd then post the cd to him/her.

STB's are not great for upload - and pushing hard can make it worse, so using a throttle feature, maybe to 12k byte/s, may smooth things out a bit.

also hitting the upstream to hard kills the downstream off to a crawl something to do with certian packets not getting out fast enough i think...

it was something like that im sure someone here can explain it better

I have the noticed the following are saturation levels before download is affected by delayed acks.

1024/256 22-25kb/sec upload
600/128 8-10kb/sec

When i was on 600k i could peak my downloads while my uploads were capped at 13kB/s

I find that capping the upload to about 80% of its capacity works fine.
