I had the same problem, 10 MB/s download and about 200kB/s upload.
This was when my xbox was using the evolutionX dash. I switch to avalaunch and both upload and download at 10MB/s.....wierd but try it out.

I will try to change the IP address as well!
But to make a follow up of all the things I tried (as mentioned in an earlier post in the same thread) Then I now also tried to format all drives (on the xbox), changed IDE cable and changed harddisk, but still only 200kbps upload speed.
Then I tried the Qwix101 as proposed in an earlier post and suddently I got 10Mbps. So I just uploaded a file of 1.5Gb in 2.5 minutes! Great!

I have finally got mine back to full speed as well. I was having all of the problems everyone else has had and finally solved it by changing back to an earlier version of ZoneAlarm. I originally had version 5.5.062.004 but put version 5.1.011.000 back. I chose that version because it is the newest one I have without using the update. I do not know what setting is in the most recent version that is causing this, but I was wondering anybody has found a way around it?

As a side note, I thought that if I just shut down ZoneAlarm everything would be o.k. but I had to actually uninstall it for anything to improve.

I just upgraded my computer to an ASUS A8V deluxe and am having the same problems.  Downloading from the xbox to PC is super quick.  Uploading goes about 100k a second.  I hooked up the old computer to the network and it speedily was able to upload.

Is it possible this internal nic is poopy?  its a 10/100/1000 Gigabit nic.

hmm as i type i am transferring at 12 per second, and dropping by the second.

i have just read the last few posts of this topic, and i have just realised that my ftp started going slow around the same time i installed zonealarm. i have shut it down and i am still going slow, so i am going to uninstall it now.

this is probably the cause, and if so, i hope there is a workaround as its great software.

This thread needs more solutions and I solved mine I believe.

My nic is onboard on my motherboard.  I kept attempting to go to the motherboards manufacturer to get the newest drivers.  I installed EVEREST (google for it).  This tells you all the info about all the devices in your computer.  I clicked on my nic card and it took me to the website of the manufacturer of the nic.  From there I was able to get drivers that changed my nic's name in device manager and seem to be more accurate and updated.  Now all is well.  So if you are having problems make sure you have the newest drivers for you nic NOT from DELL or Asus or any one else, find the brand of the nic and go straight to their website for drivers,  if its Intel go to Intel.   Hope this helps.

the solutions thus far:

1. If you have ZoneAlarm installed, uninstall it. I had version 5.5 Security Suite and installed 4.0 pro and it works at full speed now.

2. upgrade NIC drivers from chipset manufacturer (3com, linksys, intel, etc)

3. try different FTP programs

in an effort to add to the solutions on this thread:

i had this problem, getting speeds of 44k when uploading to xbox, normal speeds of 9mb when downloading from xbox.

changing the packet size in flashfxp to 2048 (or lower) fixed this problem for me. this should definitely be the first thing you try before going to the bother of reinstalling programs etc.

now getting speeds of between 6 and 7.5mb per second which is fine by me.

sorry I'm new to all this where do I find "passive mode" in my ftp program(flashFXP) ?

Hmm, i got a even funnier problem.

When i use Qwix to transfer games I do it really fast, transfering a iso file of 4.2gb size in 10-15 minutes. But when i try FlashFXP to transfer movies, i only get shitty speeds like 140kb/s. Im not using any firewall when i try to do this, and never had ZoneAlarm installed, Im currently using SyGate. But its a bit strange that Qwix gives me speeds up to 9mb/s and FlashFXP gives me 140kb/s. Any ideas?

i ran into a simililar problem when i first modded my xbox.

(Note: this gets kinda technical. I'm basically saying to have a direct connection between the computer and xbox, or to use a SWITCH!!!! ...and to use XBMC.)


I have a linksys HUB. (5 port)  (I should get another switch for this though)

connected to the hub is my laptop computer, my Desktop computer, my modded xbox, and my unmodded xbox. (for Xbox Live   )

on the UPLINK port I had my connection to a SWITCH which connected everything else in my house, including the internet.

anyways, connecting to my modded xbox from either computer was really slow.

i finally figured out that what i should do is:

only have my modded xbox and the connecting computer connected, and the UPLINK.

I turned on the xbox and computer, let them get their dynamic IP addresses from my DHCP server (router).  I disconnected the UPLINK port.

Now the only things on the HUB were the xbox and the computer, and they had their IP addresses, and transfers were really fast.  (9mb/s)  if i plugged in another cable, during mid-transfer, the speed would shoot down to about 20kb/s.

so whenever i transfer files, i just disconnect everything else on my hub, (but making sure that both xbox and comp have a valid IP address first) and it works great.

I once used my 24port switch just to test it, (because switches have a "smart" technology built into them) and had every port connected (yes, i am a geek big enough to have that many computers ) and had all those extra computers doing endless pinging (to create extra network traffic), and transfer speeds were not bad, 5-6mb/s


my advice to everyone:  use a SWITCH when creating a network! Not just your router or hub.  SWITCH's have "smart" technology that know where the data is going, so unlike a hub, it only sends the info there instead of to all of the connections.


i also found the XBMC has the most reliable FTP Server bulit into it: FileZilla Server.
I use the FileZilla Client on my computers to FTP.

Ballbuster:

since you are using switches, what i wrote doesnt apply to you...

but try using Filezilla and XBMC.  i get the best results with that.

Update, well looks like the latest version of ZA is the culprit as when I uninstalled it the speeds were fine.
