Well today, for the 1st time, I had the pleasure of testing the xbox 2 xbox feature and what an awsome feature it is. Awsome speeds ranging between 100000kbp/s and 140000kbp/s .
I connected 1 to the other and then selected the F:\Games folder on the source and then selected the F:\ directory (root) on the destination and added it to the queue and then did the same for G drive.
I then selected the queue and selected upload and wooo hooo!! its was blazing along fine. I walked away and knew it would take some time to transfer 180 Gigabytes of data.
I then checked it about 2 hours later and it said it had completed. I was not convinced that this could have been so fast. Maths says so!! So after rebooting and looking in the Games folders on F and G only some of the Games had copied across.
I then went and selected the ones that didnt copy across using the X button and added them to the queue and they copied across just fine.
as a further test, I had a spare 60 gig HDD here and formatted it and UX'ed it and tried copying everything by selecting then using the X button and adding to queue and all worked fine. I deleted them and tried copying just the whole Games folder again and is seems that at around 20 games/folders or directories it stops and says completed.
Also, sometimes the games are copied at random, meaning that it might skip a game and does not copy across each folder in order from top to bottom as they appear on the screen of the source xbox.
I also get an error copying MameoX via any ftp client but ill do some more testing on that soon.
Update about the slow transfer speeds, It only seems to slow down when uploading to the xbox, downloading is fine and I do have the same problem using the FTP server in the latest X3 bios so it might be bios related. I have tried all types of connections, direct X-over PC and Laptop, eithernet switch and patch leads, brand new patch and x-over leads, static and dhcp, passive on and off, diff IP ranges and 2 different xbox's, both xbox's contain X3's with latest bios still only get around 350 to 400kbp/s.
Next test will be to go back to an older X3 bios an see what happens.. ill let ya know soon.
cheers for another release
