I normally never get higher than 3500 KB/s, but it tops at 8000 KB/s. Would it go faster if i modded the ethernet part of the xbox?

It *could* but the port is already 10/100 mbps which is probably the most you'll want for it, and easier way is to limit the distance between xbox and pc, otherwise that's about all you can do

Yeh, I was about to say, I rarely get those speeds, and mine's like 25 ft away

A lot of it depends on how your connecting your two systems.

a normal hub is the worst way
a normal switch is a bit better
direct connection with a small cross-over cable is the best way.

given that your equipment should be 100 mbps most of your delay will come from package collisions... the x-over cable will reduce those collisions cause you'll only have 2 systems on the network.

Using my laptop right next to the XBOX has really increased my transfer time. Before on my Router/Switch it was a lot slower.

You get 3500? I get around 2200 and its about 10 feet away!

some ftp clients start to kill your computer at 2000k/s it might be your computers end. also if you don't have dma enabled on your computers hard drive you won't get past that. I use flashFPX and I never get below 5000k/s wtih the stock drive or my upgraded drive.

I get 6000-7000 constant never any less, from xbox to PC I get 11,000.

Moved to tech chat.

For reference, I have a 20 foot crossover cable, and from my PC to my Xbox I get a constant 8,500 KB/s. I use Windows XP and FlashFXP.

It should be more or less impossible to lose speed due t collisions with your xbox and pc plugged into a switch assuming only your pc is attempting communication with your xbox and vise versa during the transfer to/from the xbox.

I use a linksys 4 port router and my cable to my xbox is 25 feet and then a 5 foot one to teh PC.
I usually get about 10000 from xbox to pc
