THROTTLEING BACK FTP SPEED--Test Completed.

[dwdallam.com]

I haven't tried any tests, but I think my initial download speed was hampered by small files.

The server takes some time to switch directories and file names, which slows down the speed drastically.

Here is my test uploading a large file and then download it to see what speed I get.

My maximum upload speed using WSFTP and a 10MB file is little over 600 kbits/s with an average of about 575 kbits/s. So I'm getting my full upload speed from my ISP. I am not getting capped.

Download on same file is: 2.2 Mbits/s which is SCREAMING. I think a T1 connection is 1.5 Mbits/s

Oh yeah, and that was while doing a sustained download from News Groups with a News Reader at the same time.

Conclusion:

I'm getting full up and download speeds.

HM's FTP pipe takes all I can give it.

EXCELLENT SERVICE.

Thanks for testing this out. I was more than a bit skeptical when people said you could only download at dialup modem speeds.

i dont know if its just me but my FTP Uploads and downloads are veryslow it takes me 5 to 10 mins to put a 2.3 MB folder on my account. Is there anyway i can boost performance or something im on a DSL line capped at about 300kb's download speed

If you have Comcast, like I do, they are probably throttling you.
