yeah this is what i have currently: Crossover cable pluged into my PC directly Simple NIC 10/100 10$ 10 BaseT Full duplex Win XP Pro Cute FTPFlash FXP I get around 1.2 mbitsec ....Im lying, ive already touched 1.8  Is this suposed to be fine?

I used to get 500k a sec then changed network card on laptop to a 32bit cardbus card and I got approx 1,300 kbps according to Flash FXP

On my desktop to xbox I've achieved 5,000 kbps on a 35mb file, like said elsewhere small files slow right down.

Interestingly I also have a PAL xbox, 1.4 with an 80GB Hard disk.

nearly forgot the most important bit using a 100mbit crossover cable, interestingly laptop to pc on same cable is a lot faster so I don't think it's the cable.

F!*k me I think Ive seen it all now from you USA MXM crowd , if measuring your ftp speed is important in your life you need to get girlfriends and try one up the ass. Bush has tought you well

is this all the f**k u do??? somebody please ban this asshole.
oh wait, i know why u hate mxm... u tried it and couldnt get it to run so now all u do is bash it.  to advanced for ya huh???

and to Catcya or whoever potsed that stupid reply ..... you need to get a life....and also you sound like a redneck and i hate rednecks...

If I set my NIC to 100Base/Full Duplex I get a max of 1MB/s, and that's pushing it.  When I set my NIC to 100Base/Half Duplex I get 4-5 MB/s.  I'm using a Cat5 cable and a d-link router.

If you've set your PC to work at full-duplex and it goes slower than at half-duplex, that means the other end of the connection is still set to half-duplex. If you're going via a router then you need to reconfigure the router to go at full-duplex too.

I think the speeds are pretty random - i generally get 3-4Mbps but i think it probably depends on which way the transfer's going (xbox to pc, pc to xbox) - i wud say that it's also down to the hdd's and their activity/spin speed but i did a load of stuff on my pc hdd and then ftp'ed a game to it and got 10Mbps (both hdd's 5200rpm). Obviously it also depends on the quality of the disk, and maybe the dash. I use Unleash X now, mainly cause MXM takes too long to load up and is way behind in features. Oh yeh, I've got a direct crossover cable connection, that helps.

[pelago]

In your case, the other end of the connection is your router. Most devices auto-detect whether they should be half or full duplex, but it sounds like your router isn't doing that, so you might need to delve into its management interface.

If you are connecting directly to the Xbox, I haven't seen any way of configuring the Xbox duplex settings.

[loki]

how exactly is your router *hacked*

*bps = *BITS per second, and theres 8 bits in a byte...

i get 32 megs a sec on xbmc, dunno bout this

omg you ppl. i am a network engineer. my network constantly pushes 70,000k my average push to my xbox is around 27,000k or 27mbit p/s. i am using a netgear gig card in my pc and a cisco 3750G switch. do not use crossover cables you cheap asses crossover cables will cause more packet collisions between boxes than ever. if you want real speed use a GOOD switch.

kforce

ps the guy that said 10/100 cards will average 5mbit? then how does my 10mbit internet function?

[ILLusions0fGrander]

isnt 27,000 near impossible for the xbox's nic? isnt 12,000 or so the max speed?

[FrightfoO]

I get above the 3000Kbps up'ing to the Xbox (something between 4000Kbps(3.9Mbps)-5000Kbps (4.89Mbps) is peak) and I get like 7000 kbps (6.83Mbps) down from the Xbox to PC.

Are you serious?  Normally I would have assumed that this is a mis-informed post and could have skipped by, save the part where you are a self-proclaimed "network engineer" and your overall tone and lack of respect for this thread.

"27mbit" to your xbox.  Now I'm not sure if you meant 27 Megabit/sec to your xbox, which is sad considering the network you claim to have.  Or perhaps you meant 27 Megabyte/sec, which is equally sad since this far exceeds the possible transmit rate of the xbox interface.  I'll give you time to recalculate your numbers and maybe get back to us.

The part that concerns me the most is your statement that "crossover cables will cause more packet collisions between boxes than ever".  The previous statement suggests that you do not understand the difference between layer 1 and layer 2 switching.  Where exactly are the other packets being generated from when 2 devices are connected via crossover?  A transmits to B and in turn B transmits to A.  Why then would A transmit to C when there is no C on the network?  And on the flip side, how would C introduce packets to either A or B without physical connectivity?  I'll keep it as basic as the aforementioned.  While there may be other advantages using a switch, I believe the best overall bandwidth results would be had by the use of a crossover cable.


For the sake of the thread, I get an average of about 8MB/sec to my xbox using Flashfxp, a crossover cable and MXM.  When I had the xbox on the network I'd get around 6 - 7MB depending on the usage.  I'm currently upgrading my network.  Maybe I'll be able to hit 8MB with better equipment.  Now mind you, these stats are from flashfxp, which once informed me that I was pulling 12MB/sec from my xbox and I don’t think is possible (other than theoretically) on a 100Mb switched network.  The difference was that the data was being transferred to a server with SCSI drives, but I still think it was misreporting its speed.
