I think the whole speed thing might have more to do with the SPEED OF THE HARD DRIVE installed in the xbox.  (and possibly the speed of pc hd).

I was getting about 1000k transfer from my pc to the original xbox hard drive.  I replaced the original xbox hd w/a 40gig WD 7200rpm drive and got it all setup.  when I transfered the same files from pc to xbox i now get 2,700k.  big increase.

If the drive on your pc is really old and slow, then it might be a possible limiting factor.  But I think more likely its the speed of the hd in xbox.

I got 1,600kbps downloading and ~1,000kbps uploading through my linksys cable router using flashfxp.

I'd like to get some more speeds that others are getting... perhaps you need certain options checked in your FTP proggy to get more bandwidth? not that I'm complaining.   biggrin.gif

Correct... did you set it to forward port 21?  You shouldn't need to.  In fact, that would open it up to the world.  BAD.

Also, it should have an internal IP address a la 192.168.xxx.xxx

Yeah, I think that's your problem.  The gateway should be your router IP.  I bet that will speed it up considerably.  Good luck.

I get about 800-900 KB/sec to and from the Xbox.  A lot of this has to do with drive access and network usage as well.  The computer hard drive is a major bottleneck on many networks, and it depends on the speed of it as well.

Setup with DSL router, using DHCP, works flawlessly.

I have been getting between 400-600Kbps....but I was using wsftp so maybe that sucks.

avengingangel:

Having a gateway set should not matter though, if you're both (xbox and pc) are on the same network segment.  Just make sure you're not going outside your network and then coming back in.  (of course the likelihood of this in your setup is extremely small)

IS there anyway to connect the Xbox to the PC so that when uploading or downloading from the xbox it wont kick you off the internet if you have it all running on the same hub.  Could I just hookup another hub with just the Xbox and my PC and no cable modem and still be able to transfer from the PC to the XBOX?

Post by: Nigma on July 08, 2002, 01:00:00 PM
Anyone else got any speeds so we can compare?

                   It shouldn't kick you off of the internet.  Unless you setup two networks, and two cards, what you're talking about won't work.  If you are getting kicked off of the net for just transferring files from the xbox and the pc, try limiting the transfer speed of the thread.  However, I've NEVER had a problem downloading/uploading from the net while download a fast file from a LAN.  Just never happens.

Well,
I'm home now and I tried EVERYTHING...
dloading from the xbox... FLIES !!!   > 2000KB / sec.
uploading to the xbox SUX !!  ~ 40KB / sec  sad.gif

I setup the dns server, turned off my cable modem, turned on AND off ip forwarding, turned on DHCP, turned it off..... NOTHIN' seems to get this puppy to upload faster @#$$#%$

Think I FINALLY solved it !!!
I was using Bulletproof FTP client as my FTP client.

I decided to try what Nigma was using.... FLASHFXP.

Now she's transferring MUCH MUCH FASTER !!!!

Thanks a million guys for all your replies..............

One last thing..
NE1 have a reg code for FlashFXP V2.0 RC2 ??


On a final note,
I transferred an 8Meg file at over 2000KB/sec !!!

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.

Post by: travischrisman 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?
