Download speeds are a tenth of what they should be

#1 Post by bgxd » 2020-11-22 01:41

Hi there,

Well, I've got a bit of an issue. For some reason, download speeds are a tenth of what they should be. I am getting 10Mb/s where I should be getting 100Mb/s. Speed limits are not enabled. I literally have no idea what is going on. I am on Ubuntu 201.10. It was working fine in Windows 10, before I switched over. When I run use speedtest.net I get 100Mb/s. Can anyone help?

Cheers :)

Short question: FileZilla displays Bytes/s (KBytes/s, MBytes/s, GBytes/s and so on). ISPs advertise speeds in bits/s (Kbits/s, Mbits/s, Gbits/s). 1 Byte/s = 8 bits/s. You did take that into consideration?

Hi,

Yes, I did take that into consideration :) I know just from the time left when downloading that something is amiss.

Thanks

Important question, for the further support: What protocol is used? They can vary greatly between the supported ones by FileZilla Pro.

Plain or FTP over TLS Explicit/Implicit?

FTP over TLS if available or explicit over TLS. Many thanks :)

Which version of FileZilla are you using? Please make sure you're using the latest version, 3.51.0 as of writing this.
