Actually, in his case, it's his HUB. I've told him this... he gets decent speeds when his Xbox is hooked up downstairs, on a different hub, but upstairs, he gets crappy rates. With NOTHING else changing, the OBVIOUS answer is hardware - the change in the hub and/or the cable is to blame... nothing ELSE.
He might see a slight improvement using the software mentioned, but that's an overall speed increase, not the ultimate solution to his problem.

My speed used to be 1,5MB/s max... (more like 800KB/s avarage)
Now i am doing 4 to 5MB/s !
I am so happy, Tnxs again..

When my connection used to not be capped I could get up to 60, now however it's capped at about 36...

Did you buy your networking equipment from the same guy jack bought the magic beans from?
Did I say you're stupid, or lieing? Nope, I said a 100Mbps network can only transfer at 12.5Mbps max.
The software is being stupid as I said.

Yeah, Mage is right. FlashFXP sometimes reports incorrect speeds... dunno why.
The most reliable way is to manually calculate based on the number of bytes transferred with the time elapsed.

edit: also, my upload speeds from my xbox are ridiculously slow. they used to be around 10,000KB/s, now its around 500. i thought that taking files from xbox are supposed to be faster?

Then I bought a new network card and my transfers went up to 4-5meg a sec upload to xbox 6meg download.
Then I burnt my processor and MB out with a little too much overclocking (The processor socket had physical burns on it and the processor truned brown over about a 1/3 of the underside)
So I upgraded to a 2.4ghz 800fsb hyperthreaded monster with 1/2 gig of 400mhz ddr.
No increase in speed on tranfers but then I set flashfxp to run on one of my "virtual" processors in XP and bang the transfers increased to 10meg a sec.
All transfers were based on how long a 1gig vob took to send to the xbox (Or from) using a stop watch.

this is for a pc hd to xbox hd transfers or vice versa am i correct?
and definitely not the speeds you would expect if u are trying to backup a game to your pc's hd using the xbox dvd-rom right?.. coz it's a bloody 6x drive..

| This is the same for the XBOX it's duplex settings are mostlikly set to AUTO I have not verified this and I would be surprised if it was locked at 100/full |
It auto detects, I still got my old P2 333 which has a 10Mbps card and my new machine with a 100Mbps card.
I tried hot swapping the cables while evox is loaded (With info dash skin) and you can see when swapping them the xbox correctly detects 10Mbps/100Mbps and half duplex and full.
I would post pics but I don't think there's any need plenty of people can confirm what I'm saying.

Is your brother left handed? Does he talk with a slight Maltese accent? Is his moon in Sagittarius this month?

Sorry about jumping at you but it's what I saw. It never had that problem before. Every once in a while it'll post those speeds.

as for me, i did try a different cable and no go. but i do have a question for any networking gurus. in my network connections dialog in windows xp, my network card is set to autosense. however, there is another icon called "Internet Gateway." When I click on this, it says 10.0Mbps. I have a linksys router with 4 port 10/100 switch. i also have a cable modem. is there anyway i can change the internet gateway to 100Mbps?

and i'm guessing your brother seagate is the white top with 4 diamonds on the corner?
this is the numbers i have been experiencing with my installs..
Retail HD's..
WD 8 gb ..about 2.5-3.5 mb per sec - dl
10 gb Seagate (black rubber jacket) about 2.5-3.5 mb per sec - dl
10 gb Seagate.(white top, 4 diamond shape corners slim line HD) 500kb a sec..?!??! - dl
Upgraded HD's..
Maxtor 120GB 2mb buffer 7200rpm. 8-9mb per sec - dl , 4-6mb per sec upload
Maxtor 160GB 8mb buffer 7200rpm. 8-9mb per sec- dl , 4-6mb per sec upload
WD 60GB 8mb buffer 7200rpm. 8-9mb per sec- dl , 4-6mb per sec upload
Seagate 120GB 8mb buffer 7200rpm. 8-9mb per sec- dl , 4-6mb per sec upload
direct IBM THINKPAD T23 to Xbox w/crossover cable
Seagate 120GB 8mb buffer 7200rpm. 8-9mb per sec- dl , 4-6mb per sec upload
these figures has been consistant with over 40+ installs on clients xboxes now with xboxes ranging from v1.0 - v1.2..
they are installed on the same network cable/card/router and you see the difference in numbers. even with the same xbox after i install the upgraded HD ..speeds pick up to 8mb per sec..
hope this helps some of you out.. for me i see it as nothing to do with the network wire unless there is damage to it and nothing really to do with the network card since most of us use standard 10/100 full duplex cards now anyways.
i suggest it would just be the HD's proformance issue. the white top seagate is just plain shit and can only handle 500Kb of data per sec.. theres no way to fix it except to get a bigger faster HD.. i suspect those new seagates are only 4200rpm.. not like those black rubber jacket seagates ..
(edit) i also installed the speed2k.. and PMK5 is right. it only increase your upload speed.
but hey thats better than nothing!

| hey, i was transfering from my xbox to pc at 7kb a sec :-( and with the software you told me to download, im getting atleast 25KB per second. thanks alot, but this is still extremely slow...is there anything else you can recommend? or that anyone else can recommend? |
lol, 25kb/s ......I feel sorry for you mann. Dont mean to sound like a prick or anything but that is way too slow. You should try getting new networking hardware or something and get a 7200rpm hard drive, both will help alot becuz obviously the xbox is capable of much higher range of speeds.
To everybody: If my xbox did not transfer around 8-9 Mb/s then I would definitely try anything to tweak the settings or upgrade the hardware! Happy moddin'

It allows 200 Mb of bandwith, 100 for Upload and 100 for Download.
So it's still 100 Mb/s the max speed to ftp things to your XBOX.

Just wondering, in WinXP, where you can set the options for Full Duplex and all that, is "AutoSense" not as good as "100base TX Full_Duplex"? It doesnt seem to make alot of difference to me.

And the internet gateway thing is usually there for people that use thier computer as a router instead of using a hardware router. If you are using a hardware router, you might want to try deleting all you network connections and then just adding the network card you have. Unless its part of windows new network plug and play thing that I know nothing about, but some routers and stuff are using(you'd still be safe trying the unistall). |
There are 4 speeds for normal ethernet
100mbps full duplex
100mbps half duplex
10mbps full duplex
10mbps half duplex
Autosense just picks the fastest speed that your connection can handle. So if your cables and/or one of your connection can't handle 100mbps full duplex, it will step the speed down to a speed they can both handle. Just like how your 56k modem steps down to 28.8 or 14.4 if you have crappy phone lines.
