Well I've looked and looked and I can't seem to get answers at all about this. Personally I have 2 xbox's, 1 with a 120gb ibm and the other with a 80gb wd, both 7200rpm. The ibm box i gets 8-9mb/s down and 4-5mb/s up, but with the wd box i get 2mb/s down and 700-800kb/s up. Very strange stuff indeed. People are saying to use a different ftp prog, well i use flashfxp on the same pc with the same connection. Any yet the 2 xbox's have different speeds......very weird indeed. I think there is a deeper issue here that peeps are simply not answering properly.

Has anyone tried webdrive?

Before you all go crazy here. There are KNOWN buffereing issues with evox when uploading to the xbox.

i got 9 to 10mb/sec, shaw cable

Hey guys, Please see my post at the link below.  Should clear up a lot. http://www.xboxhacke...=ST;f=13;t=6510 I have tested WSFTP Pro, full speed...3.5 to 4 MB/s...not bits...mega bytes...fast.  Other working software I have tested: ncftp (linux), gftp (linux).  All of these transfer to my Xbox at 40 to 50 Mbps or approx 3.5 to 4.x MB/s megabytes per second.  So...I suggest trying a different FTP program...in windows...try WSFTP...the LE version is free.  The different hard drives that were replaced, the BIOS revisions, the duplex mode (within reason) was not the problem...it was only the client software used.

                                    Yes you are right on the money on this one.

I've also tested this and FlashXP's calculation and xfer speeds are all over the place.

mmm I've set the settings in flashfxp
- options
- preferences
- transfer
put the settings here to obey upload speed limit and put a 16000 kb a second here an now my upload to the box is 1.5 mb/s instead of 400 kb/s
maybe it works also for you

i know it's still not that great but 1 mb/s more is always welcome

my upload to pc is 11 mb/s

CHange to WS_FTP

My speeds went from 700 kb/sec to 4000 kb/sec!!!!

I think the real problem here is a combination of factors. But we can't get to the heart of the problem until we start comparing in a common language.

One of the causes of confusion is that every FTP program tends to measure downloads differently.

Some measure in Kilobits per second
Some measure in KiloBytes per second
Some mearure in Megabits per second
Some measure in MegaBytes per second

I have personally tried 3 different FTP programs.  And it seems to me that I've gotten the same actual results from each, but each one reported different ones.

The only real way to measure this and compare is to transfer a file, take it's number of bytes and divde it by the number of seconds it took to transfer it.

I'm going to transfer the same 257MB (Actual bytes 269,895,942) file in WS_FTP LE, FlashFXP, and BPFTP.  

WS_FTP LE
I downloaded a 257MB or so file. (Actual bytes 269,895,942)
It took 362.9 seconds.
Actual Trans Rate: 743,719.9 bytes per second
Reported Trans Rate: 7.12Mbps (Megabits per second)

FlashFXP
I downloaded a 257MB or so file. (Actual bytes 269,895,942)
It took 389 seconds.
Actual Trans Rate: 693,819.9 bytes per second
Reported Trans Rate: 677.25 KBps (KiloBytes per second)

BPFTP
I downloaded a 257MB or so file. (Actual bytes 269,895,942)
It took 363 seconds.
Actual Trans Rate: 743,515 bytes per second
Reported Trans Rate: 743,514 bytes/sec


There is some variation, but not much.  Whenever someone posts that by changing software they drasitcally changed download rate, most likely they are mistaking MegaBytes for MegaBits, or something of that nature.  I ask anyone doing comparisons to break it down to bytes per second.
