Title: Transfering Speeds With Flash Fxp
Post by: Moose on September 22, 2002, 08:41:00 PM
I have a 100 base T network with my xbox and router...problem is my transfer speeds in flashfxp is around 350kbs..is there anyway to improve this? I turned of passive mode and it helped me a little..Friend of mine is getting 2500kbs

I get about 400 kb/sec

I can go in multiple threads, then I get bout 900, but this causes the games to freeze...

So I just use one thread and takes about 20 mins or so... for 700 megs

Im getting 2,5MB/s but i heard ppl have 7,5MB/s and faster , well i got a SMC NIC and a 3COM one, i tried both and i get same speeds,

if i send files from my pc to server , i get about 8MB/s , i got both on automatic tranfer method, if i choose 100/Full duplex my speeds drop to 900k,

it would be great if you could choose which transfermethod you want on xbox , its full duplex standard!

if there is anyway to improve the speed , i would like to know  smile.gif

I've just got a cheap Nexgamer 10/100 card and standard cat 5 crossover cable and using flashFXP i'm getting over 8mb/s (transfered 3gigs from xbox to pc in 6 mins).

The only settings that i've changed in anything was to set the ip on the nic.
Everything else I left alone.

Dang, how the hell come I only get 400 kb/sec?

I use a Realtek PCI nic and just a crossover cable for direct connection to the XBox

Yo

Here's my setup...

I have an Athlon XP+ 1800 PC, running a 3Com 100MBit NIC, with crossover lead to Xbox.

If you need to change the way it operates, the type "100/Full Duplex" is not governed by the Xbox, it's governed by the PC. Get into network connections, properties of your network card, look for "media type". Change this to what you need!

Mine is "Auto", according to Xbox it's 100/Full Duplex,

My xfer rates are thus: -

Download - 7.8MB/s < x < 9.0MB/s
where x can deviate between those two values

and

Upload - 3.0MB/s < x < 4.0MB/s

I just went into my NIC properties....

Under Advanced, then Line Speed is where I want to be right?

Anyway it is set to TP Half Duplex....

But TP Full Duplex is available, will try it out later on


Edit: Damn, Only get about 60 kb/sec in full duplex!

What's everyone's issue? You get the high speeds because you are transferring from your xbox hard drive to you PC hard drive directly. If you do it that way you can achieve around 7,000. If you go from your pc to xbox it can also go around 4000 - 7000. However you cannot achieve this speed from a DVD disk. There are limitations in the speed the DVD player runs. That's why you only get 1500 - 2000+ speeds copying from xbox DVD to PC. Try to copy an xbox game to your xbox hard drive, then copy from you xbox hard drive to your PC. You will notice it's going at a speed of 6000
+. That's why the speeds vary so much...I bet everyone reporting they get 7000+ speeds are not copying from the xbox DVD drive to their PC.

Yeah, i'm getting the 8mb+ when copying either to or from the xbox hard drive, but even when going direct from xbox dvd drive i'm still getting between 1 1/2 and 2mb per sec.

Which means that something is not right if you are only getting 400k.

Hopefully someone can offer a proper answer blink.gif

I get 2.3Mbytes/s 23.3Mbits/s pc to xbox, I think this sux. What is everybody else getting? Please distinguish between bits and bytes please. If somebody is getting 7Mbytes/s, please reply on your setup.

I am on an linksys 100 Mbit network, 25 foot standard cat 5 cables throughout.

I'm using a Linksys Router with DHCP, I'm lucky to get 700kb/sec.

Do you guys think it's the router?  The router is 10/100.  And my connection is showing 100.  I'm traveling right now, but these posts of 7mb/sec are driving me crazy.  As soon as I get home I'm going to start tweaking.  Can people who are using Routers and DHCP let me know what their max transfer rates are?

Thanks,
Brian

hello, i've also tried everything, auto ip, static ip, PC 100 full, PC 100 half, nothing helped. My upload from PC to Xbox is max. 500kb/s, my download is max. 3500kb/s.

i tried it with crossed link direct connection, then via 100M/bit hub, nothing helps. shit, now i use hdloader to fit the games on my boxHD, but then u need the DVD or CdRW, it's useful to extract iso.s and then put them from PC HD to box HD, with max. 450 - 500kb/s this takes a long time....shit. Anyway, i am glad that everything works well, besides the upload speed everything is perfect......

greets

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.

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.

                                    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

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.
