Deny Posted August 29, 2007 CID Share Posted August 29, 2007 I have a 10 mbps network hub and was wondering what speed does it transfer files? Does it have to transfer at 10 mbps because its not that fast and how can i make it to transfer files faster from computer to computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted August 29, 2007 CID Share Posted August 29, 2007 the hub really has no barring over the speed. The speed is determined by your network connection. Who's your provider and whats their advertised speeds? 10 mbs really means you'll transfer at 1.21 mb/s [ 10mb x 1024 kb/s = 10240 kb/s 10240 / 8.2 ( latency) = 1248 kb/s 1248 kb/s / 1024 kb/s = 1.2 mb/s ] 20 mbs really means you'll transfer at 2.3 mb/s [ 20mb x 1024 = 20480 kb/s 20480 / 8.2 ( latency) = 2497 kb/s 2497 / 1024 kb/s = 2.43 mb/s ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate717 Posted August 29, 2007 CID Share Posted August 29, 2007 Not to step on toes but I Read that question differentlyfrom what I read and correct me if I am wrong was you are trying to transfer faster from PC to PC Right ? Not over the net but over your Home Network A 10 Mbps Hub will only transfer at 10 Mbps 20 if it is in full duplex mode A 100 Mbps Hub will only transfer at 100 Mbps 200 if it is in full duplex mode Gigabit is 1000 Mbps as far as i know you cant make a 10 Mbps Hub faster than 10 Mbps so my suggestion is to buy a gigabit switch 27.00 (newegg.com) and depending on your network cards in your computers a couple of Gigabit Ethernet Cards 7.99 (newegg.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deny Posted August 30, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hmm its weird cause the transfer speed is not close to 10 mbps. I transfer a 600 mbs file and it took 13 mins. should it take seconds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushonbye Posted August 30, 2007 CID Share Posted August 30, 2007 10 mbs really means you'll transfer at 1.21 mb/s [ 10mb x 1024 kB/s = 10240 kB/s 10240 / 8.2 ( latency) = 1248 kB/s 1248 kB/s / 1024 kB/s = 1.2 mb/s ] 20 mbs really means you'll transfer at 2.3 mb/s [ 20mb x 1024 = 20480 kB/s 20480 / 8.2 ( latency) = 2497 kB/s 2497 / 1024 kB/s = 2.43 mb/s ] 10 mbs really means you'll transfer at 1.21 mb/s [ 10mb x 1024 kB/s = 10240 kB/s 10240 / 8.2 ( latency) = 1248 kB/s 1248 kB/s / 1024 kB/s = 1.2 mb/s ] 20 mbs really means you'll transfer at 2.3 mb/s [ 20mb x 1024 = 20480 kB/s 20480 / 8.2 ( latency) = 2497 kB/s 2497 / 1024 kB/s = 2.43 mb/s ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate717 Posted August 30, 2007 CID Share Posted August 30, 2007 rushonbye is right 10 MB at 10 Mbps would take roughly 10 seconds. and it also depends on the computers you are transfering from and to. if one is a superfast monster and the other is a P.O.S. that could add transfer time as well. just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
