slower download in passive mode - Page 2

Sebpouet · 01-12-2005, 02:59 PM

i have try to increade or decrease the tcp ip buffer size, and i have not been able to see a real difference of speed.

Depending of the parameter i used, it was faster (or not) to reach the maximum speed.

i mean, sometime, it needs 3 seconds to reach high speed, and sometimes, around 10 to 15 seconds.

but maximal speed doesn't change significantly.

nice !! i changed the IP Buffer Size ( 8192 => 15360) it working for me ! for the sites i didnt have the maximum upload speed (with passive mode). quite better now, i have the max. thx

then you are not using correct version

i have a similar problem. when i use fxp3 to say.. download linux iso's from a close edu, i can get around 240k. when i use fxp1.4.4 b849 to download the same files from the same edu, i get like 506k which is my max allowed by my isp. i dont have and limits enabled or anything. i dunno what causes this in v3 but it is annoying me and i paid for this program to work so what can i do?

download the latest beta (liveupdate), and then make sure to set your send/receive buffers as necessary for your connection.

Just a thought since you mention fxp1.4.4 b849, that release used PORT mode by default, are you sure it was using passive mode?

We're starting to see a trend with isps where port mode is faster than passive mode, At the moment we're not entirely sure why. It could be some sort of throttling scheme implemented by the isp.

I didn't know that I'll get so much replies starting this topic... thx

but I don't think that has something do with the isps cause other ftp clients work with the same speed in passive and active modes.

Using the latest beta build 1067 go into the preference and change the TCP/IP recv buffer to "default", it's the first entry in the list, when set to default it tells FlashFXP to use the windows default buffer size. Try that and see if it makes any difference.

However if that doesn't make any difference try changing the recv buffer to one of the other values until you find one that provides you with the best results.

Please let me know your results.

If you're a registered user you can download 1067 from the portal, the public release will be posted on our website within the next 24hrs.

both versions are set to use pasv mode.
