i use flashfxp and sometimes get 300kps and every once and a while, 1,000kps, BUT when i RIGHT CLICK on part of flashfxp, or HOLD my mouse button down on it the window, the file that i'm transferring goes from 300kps to upwards of 2,400kps, crazy huh?
i end up having to release every time a file finishes but it is SOOO much faster haha. i think it has something to do with changing the priority of the program or the buffer..

btw, i have the origonal 8 gig hd..

                                    Umm.. ok..
1 - TWO network segments... 1. your HOME network - 2 your ISP
2 - My DSL line goes into a router. The router plugs into a switch that means:

All the pc's in my house are on the same subnet. The xbox is also on that subnet as I use DHCP on the x. I get high speeds when in this configuration.

NOW

I remove the router so all the pc's AND the x get DHCP assigned addy's from the ISP and all speed it lost to the x. WHY??

My signal on a tracert goes to the ISP and back to my house... too many frikkin hops to go one bedroom - lol

                                    I'm not sure if they are really all getting their ip from the isp, but if they are, the difference could be in the subnet mask.  Even though you may think they should be on the same subnet, the mask may actually be limiting the network to a very small number of machines (ie 1 pc) and forcing all other machines to route via the isp.  Check the netmasks.  Also note that I seem to remember that some strange implementations of ip seem to ignore the netmask sometimes, thinking they know more about routing than the netmask they are given does, the xbox or pcs could be doing things they really shouldn't.

Huh?

How do you direct connect to the PC using a crossover cable ?
Do you still have to use a ftp program?

                                    No the new cables have a little program built into them. Just look for a little black box near the end of the cable labeled PROGRAM.

Ok so really - You will still need an FTP program. Set up the IP on your X and duplicate the numbers on your pc changing only the last digit of the ip address one number higher.

Thats probably the easiest way if you never subnetted before.

I find that flash fxp works ok 4000-5000Kbps but only when it can use all my system cpu. Its a power hungry program, im running AMD 2100xp
havn't used cuteftp yet.

[Sheytan]

I have a netgear switch.

I'm using Total Commander i get 7000-8000 when i transfer to the XBox, and 11000 from the XBox.
Had the same speeds with a hub also.

Flashfxp sux when it comes to tranfer files to the XBox.

I've noticed that it seems to be duplex-related too.  I have an HP Procurve 4000 managed switch at home, and when my ports were set to autonegotiate, my throughput speeds to the xbox were fine from some computers but not from others.  I think if there were an option to force the nic speed on the xbox, I think things might be better.

[FredyNight]

Well, after trying a lot of FTP prog.. the better speed I got is 400k/s...

So I set up  a FTP server on my XP machine (Serv-u)
And I connect from xbox using XB-FTP... Now I have 3500 kb/s speed :-)

In some way  Xp having probleme in upload... I notice the same thing with my Win98 PC on the same network

Hi guys!
New to this board but I thought I just through in my experiece with the problem. Now I use FlashFTP and when I upload I get between 2 to 2.5 megs per sec. When I download (from the XB) I get around 8 to 9.7 megs a sec. Now this is pretty consistant. My friend had the same problem and as we are both network admins we were naturally curious as to why.
He did some forum searching and came across this one thread that talk about how the xbox actually drops like half of the packets! And the fix was to flowed your segment with traffic from another system (if you had one). I was not able to verify this or find the thread he was quoting but he now claims he able to get 12 15 megs a sec. Again I can't claim the same but wanted to get your thoughts on this.

When he told me this I started laughing out loud. Could you imagine an MCSE question asking you how to get better network thru-put and the answer being "flowed the network segment that it is on!". As you can see I'm still doubting his results but I trust him and his skillz.

Your thoughts?

[Manuuu]

hi everybody !
where I could find xbftp, relative with the high download speed ?
thanks !
