Hi

Someone told me that the "Windows Commander" tool (now called "total commander"
is a faster tool to upload files to the xbox then flashfxp.

I just tried it out and indeed. With flashfxp I had something like 5 or 6 MB/s, with
"total commander" I get at least 6, but most of the time going even above 7 MB/s.
Does anyone get the same results?

Maybe you can try it out.

K listen there are a lot of factors affecting your speed, and it basically boils down to NIC(network card) speed, network cable, hard drive speed. Like if your NIC can support 100mb Full Duplex Transfers, You should have no trouble transferring at full speed, But I think your hard drive can only write so fast like 1.5MB a sec is great still, dont expect to get the same 10MB+ transfers like when you are downloading from the XBOX. In short only some people with certain drives can attain these speeds. As well all factors must be set to standard if you wish to even hit those transfer speeds.

I had mentioned this before in a previous post, but will say it agian as it's still prven faster on every xbox for me, personally...

Instead of sending to the xbox, let the xbox do the downloading, it works alot faster.. Setup a FTPD on the pc, and use XBFTP to connect to it, then download.. I'm willing to be most of you out there getting 1mb/s will see 4-6mb/s using this method (provided you don't have 10mbit hardware somewhere in the mix).

And just to give as much detail as possible I use bulletproof ftpd when doing this.

yeah, go to your NIC settings in controlpanel " network connections"
you rightclick your Local area connection or whatever... then properties then "configure nic"
then the advanced tab and you're there

Ok.. Anything involving USB NIC or WSFTP sucked.

I managed to get the 3com up to 1024kbps or thereabouts by going 100mbps full duplex, no flow control, flashfxp.

By altering settings on my built in ASUS 10/100mbps NIC to: no QoS packets, 100mbps HALF duplex, no flow control, and setting up as the same IP as the default gateway of xbox, I'm now reliably reaching speeds of 2.5-3mbps.  I cannot tell you why these settings work, but if I change any of them my speeds seem to drop back down to at least the 800kbps range and if I change too many of them (particularly going down to 10mbps half duplex w/o flow control I'm getting 100kbps or something equally unusable).  

I hope this adds to the pool of info to help people.

smile.gif ...Also the system + hd from were you sending off is counting ! So you need good fast harddisk in your pc as well... I have 160gb Maxtor ATA 133 + Windows XP, 100mbit 3com HUB + 100mbit 3com nic !

with all those components it should reach over 5mb a second.

Cheers,
