xyther4523 Posted May 25, 2005 CID Share Posted May 25, 2005 maybe you are throttled/packetshaped by your ISP on the dc++, BT, and P2P but being packetshaped on FTP is weird : but maybe thats not at all. Who is your ISP and what is your advertised speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewart2oo4 Posted May 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 25, 2005 TalkTalk Broadband - 1MB http://www.talktalk.co.uk/talktalk/servlet/GBen-broadband-TariffDisplay?tariff=BB1MB&NODE_ID=7263 or this link http://www.talktalk.co.uk/talktalk/servlet/gben-home-Home Its Weird But Saying That Not All The Time Is The FTP Slow Might Just Be There Server> Coz I Do Sometimes Get About 100kb/s On FTP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted May 25, 2005 CID Share Posted May 25, 2005 You might try switching from USB to Ethernet it is a lot faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coknuck Posted May 25, 2005 CID Share Posted May 25, 2005 If you got two Modem cables. One you got hooked up is the USB the other one that looks like a phone cable but over sized plugs goes into back of the computer provided your computer has one.(Ethernet Outlet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iced98lx Posted May 25, 2005 CID Share Posted May 25, 2005 If you got two Modem cables. One you got hooked up is the USB the other one that looks like a phone cable but over sized plugs goes into back of the computer provided your computer has one.(Ethernet Outlet) the cord you've currently got running from your DSL modem to your computer is probably a USB cord... You can achieve more stable speeds via ethernet. Ethernet jacks indeed look like oversized phone cords, depending on the age and maker of your PC you could already have a NIC (Network Interface Card) in it, if not $20 will get'cha one. Just plug it into a spare PCI slot and load up the drivers, plug in a network cable ($6-10 if your modem box doesn't have one in it.. ) and then you'll be seeing closer to advertised speeds. as well as being more ready for tweaks. If the only place you're seeing slow speeds is P2p clients its' not going to help to use eithernet.. that's just chances of getting a good peer to upload from... I doubt they're pakcetshaping since it sounds like talk talk doesn't even have anything to do with the POP's (reseller only) but it could be depending on the company that controls them. Remember that P2P relies on having someone to send you the file, and as i'm sure you know if you do a uploadtest your upload isn't usually as good as your download.. (unless you have a SDSL or other synch line) so be thankful you have an always on connection and can still steal music and wait for it.. or use a serivce like napster or emusic or whatever and pay for it and enjoy super fast downloads. </Rant> chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
