Yeah, what version gave you the best speed?

I put a WD 7200 RPM drive in tonight to replace the stock drive and my dowload speed is double now:

226 Transfer finished successfully. Data connection closed.
Transferred: Lvl06_Sc03_Sh01.bik 50,092,224 bytes in 6.72 (7,280.58 KBps)

My upload speed decreased though, I figure it's because the WD must have write back cache turned off by default. Anyone know how to turn it on permanently? Is it even possible. Most SCSI drives you can turn it on and it will survive a reboot. Just curious if anyone knows.

Thanks

I was wondering the same thing, I have my Xbox plugged into my 10/100 Switch with a network address and I get around 2mb download to my pc using BulletFTP. I thought that using a crossover cable between the Xbox and a PC on their own isolated world would give me close to the 100/Full speed that the Xbox says it is at. No luck, the same 2MB down. I am not complaining, just wondering why its slow. My only guess is that the Xbox is only running at 10Mb/Half then these speeds would make sense. However my switch lights up to display that is is getting a 100/Full connection from the port the Xbox is plugged into. Anyone have any thoughts?

FYI..

After experimenting with numerous FTP clients the FASTEST for me out of them all is the one built into Windows commander.

It is 50% quicker for me then Bullet Proof
It is 40% quicker for me then Flash FXP
It is 30% quicker for me then Smart FTP

This is ALL for UPLOADING.

For downloading, it still is faster then all the above, but not by that high of a percent. I was getting around 7.5 meg per sec on flash downloading, get like 10 on Windows commander. Didnt try the others since that speed is great.

I am actually glad Windows commander is the fastest, since I use it often for standard file managment.

Does not surprise me that the slowest is Bullet Proof, never liked it. Could always tell the programming wasnt optimized, it's def a bottleneck.

I would be interested in others results with different FTP clients. (Uploading to the XBOX mainly, since this is where #'s seem to differ much)

Here is my setup...

evodash installed.

flashfxp 1.4.3 (no laughing)

xbox 192.168.0.2
pc ip 192.168.0.1
xbox gateway 192.168.0.1

cards are t10 also

cable modem to t10 4 port hub
pc to hub
xbox to hub

upload speed to xbox is 600k in flashfxp.

anyone know if it can go faster.
a. new flashfxp?
b. better cards?
c. crossover cable straight to xbox instead??

even though 600k is ok still would like 1mg a sec if possible.

i think it all really matters on your cpu speed. thats what i have found through various lan partys and such.

1600k down from dvd 1000k upload. Linksys router and cable modem

AMD TB 1.4

travischrisman · « **Reply #26 on:** July 18, 2002, 07:01:00 PM »

I have a 4 port linksys router and I got about 1600 kb/sec also. I am sure you can get faster if you get a 10/100/1000 hub and wire that will go that fast and an ethernet card that can support those speeds. They are new so they are a little pricey and rare but the only thing that might slow u down is the network card in the xbox. It's only a 10/100.

the reason you get a speed of around 2 - 3mb on a 100meg full duplex connect is because the 100mb is your bandwith, not your max connection.... on my internet i have a 3.4meg connection but only download a max of 450kbps...... you would have to make your pc's window size larger to accept more packets of info per sec.... .but you won't ever get near 100mb(10mb tops if your lucky)... so anyone that claims to get in the upper 10mb area is probably a fibber....

i get around 3,500 - 4,500kbps u/l and d/l on a 100mb switch aprox 200mb fullduplex(100 both ways = 200)

and 890 - 1,600kbps on a 10mb half duplex hub

hope that helps..

oh yeah and i noticed from looking in dif xbox's that some of the onboard nics have writing on them and others do not.. maybe they have different (better, worse) ones in each xbox and that could be a reason of our varying transfers?
