Speed help.
Hi, I have a quick question. I have a filezilla install at my house running on my 5mbit up fiber line. I use it to transfer files between my house and university, about 15 miles apart. I can transfer one file at about 150kb/s but not more, or I can transfer 6 files at the same time at 150kb/s each. There is obviously enough bandwidth to transfer a single file at at least 800kb/s, so I can't understand why this is happening. I have looked at all the filezilla settings, and I can't find anything relevant. Has anyone had this problem? Thanks for your time.
Re: Speed help.
your bandwidth choke point is going to be the slowest upload speed, whether it is client side or server side. right?

Re: Speed help.
Most likely it's a per-connection throttling on the part of your ISP or the server/network admin at Uni (most likely the latter, IMO, to stop abuse). I use FileZilla at home and I basically saturate my the gigabit switch at times between my NAS and my Linux box.adamweyant wrote:Hi, I have a quick question.
