Speed Issues - Switched from 3.0.2 (1045) to the Latest

[itsfuzz]

Previous Version: FlashFXP 3.0.3 (build 1045)
Current Version: FlashFXP 3.4.0 (latest version to download from site)
OS: Windows XP Professional SP2 (all of the latest updates)
Router: Linksys WRT54GS
Firewall: None running. Windows Service also disabled.
Antivirus: None.
Connection: Cable

I recently decided to uninstall FlashFXP (3.0.2) and install the latest version (3.4.0). I have noticed a huge increase in transfer times for small files. I can transfer an 8MB file faster than I can transfer 4, 50K files. This is on a networked PC, not an off-site FTP. Nothing has changed in my system, aside from the different versions of FlashFXP. I'm assuming there has been a few defaults changed that are causing this but I'm not completely sure.

I have uninstalled 3.4.0 and tested it again with 3.0.2 and everything works completely fine and fast. This is using the defaults for both installs. I have not changed any settings in either setup. Any help with this situation would be greatly appreciated.

You may need to adjust the "TCP/IP Buffer size" values located in Options > Preferences > Connection

If you're using a tweaked TCP/IP stack values (as seen on dslreports.com or speedguide.net) you may need to adjust your buffer size to get the best results.

Please make sure you're not connected to a site while changing this value, otherwise it wont take effect until FlashFXP is restarted. I would recommend trying (default) first followed by 8k and 32k though you may need to try values between those for best results.

I have tweaked the buffer settings all over the place. It appears that we are getting ~ sec connection time for every file and directory transaction. For the large amounts of small files that means very long delays. Is there some reason why the previous rev would have been immune to different buffer settings, it seems strange that the previous rev doesn't show this at all.

[R] PASV
[R] 502 pasv is not implemented.
[R] PORT 192,168,1,100,11,152
[R] 200 Port command ok.
[R] STOR FILE.WAV
[R] 150 Opening BINARY data connection for F:\data\FILE.WAV
[R] 226 Transfer finished successfully. Data connection closed.
Transferred: FILE.WAV 58 KB in 0.11 seconds (535.4 KB/s)

Not sure if this helps but each file goes through this sequence.

Thanks

seems like you are transferring to a crippled ftp server, possibly xbox?
disable PASV mode in site manager and your transfers will go faster.

I have this issue also. Extremely annoying. The client can tell PASV is not implemented, so why the delay?

sewen did you bother to read what i replied?

[sewen]

Yes, and your suggestion does not work. Speed of transfer is not the issue, the delay between transfers is. Multiple small files take an inordinate amount of time to go through. No such problem existed in previous FlashFXP verisons.

MxxCon:
Turning off Passive Mode in the Site Manager corrected the issue. Thank you.
