Dedicated server speeds

[JeXeR]

I have been using flash for some time now and dealing with dedicated servers for a little over a year. I am using Gene6 FTP with a basic setup and no encryption. When I try to download from this server I can barely hit 30kb/s on a 100mb line. This server is in Germany. Do any of you have some suggestions so I dont have to switch over to smartftp and make 20 threads to get it to go faster?

are you experiencing similar slow speed using a single thread in smartftp too?
run http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks and make sure that your system is optimally configured for your connection speed.

Ill definately try that tool, i know on other sources I can max out my 12mb download line and yea each smartftp connection ranges from 7-40 KB/s

sounds like either that server is throttling connection or routing between you and it are not optimal..
