ok if i do a speed test i get around 184.43 Kbps upspeed..

but ...

if i loginto the ftp server i use i can never get more than 25kbps
any ideas ????

 

Which ftp client are you using to upload with?

 

what speed test server are you hitting that with and where is the server your ftp'ing to located datacentre wise

 

ok .. tried several different speed test sites and get roughly the same ...

using terrapin ftp client .
one site is in basingstoke, hapmshire
the other site i have no idea but its virgin / nthell

 

I recommend using http://filezilla-project.org/ for your ftp client. I use it to download off my server onto my home pc. You need to change the max connections from the default 1 to 8 or 10 if you wish by clicking edit>settings..>transfers and it should be the 1st option at top.

Also is it 1 file at a time your trying to upload and what size?

 

yeah only doing 1 file at a time ...and any size gives the same result

 

The ftp server you are uploading to can only handle 25k a second ??

 

but its the same on any server i try to upload to
have got tcpoptomizer proggy as recomended in the how to tune up your pc thread...

 

still no further forward with this

 

have you fixed it in the settings?
as it may have a restriction or something

and you may upload it to me if you want to give it a shot

if you using firefox its a add on that is named fireftp. its OK but its restriction of the size you could transfer

You could try Cute FTP its one of the best
I am using that at the moment

 

i have not adjusted any settings that i know of, might be a wireless problem ???
got no idea .. just its boring waiting for stuff to upload at 25k

 

over wireless... well, you not gone get full upload speed then. you have to put in a cable

 

but 25k ??? surely not

considering i get the above results on the same pc ???

 

yeah it was low
but then you have to check your router firewall, as the problem is there

or in the ftp client

 

I just created a test torrent and sent a link to my mate to see if he could download a file from my PC to his PC using a torrent client. In the torrent was one file - a 2.6mb mp3

It took him 26mins to download it fully

And he's on an 8meg ADSL connection that usually see's well seeded albums (80-100mb) in less than 5 mins

 

56k upload?

 

Nah, I'm on Virgin Cable 2meg line! Usually seeing 192kb/s upload on line testers....
