iis ftp : Transfer Speeds seem slow
my upload speed is 384k/sec yet when I am outside my network trying to pull something off the FTP, I can only reach speeds in the area of 30k/sec. Are
That was something that never crossed my mind, so I checked my speed at
http://speed.fastaccess.com/ which rated my upload at 369Kbps. So I guess I'm still stuck. [quoted text, click to view] "Jason Brown [MSFT]" wrote:

Note that 369Kbps, with a small "b", means 369 kilo_bits_ per second.
Since there may be as many as ten bits to the byte, that means anywhere from 37 - 46 KBps - kilo_bytes_ per second. Add in IP and TCP framing and headers, and if the speed you are getting is reported as 30 KB per second - 30 kilobytes per second - you are pretty close to full speed. If, on the other hand, you are getting 30 kilobits per second - closer to three kilobytes per second - then you have something that needs addressing.

What would that something be that needs addressing? Because when I ran that
test yesterday, that was while I had an upload going at the 30K, which to me implies that I would add the 30K on top of the 369Kbps. Or am I way of base? [quoted text, click to view] "Alun Jones [MSFT]" wrote:

just a guess here, but is your ISP talking kilobits while you're talking
kilobytes?

You're skipping over answering the main thrust of the argument here, and
that's whether one K is the same as the other K. You need to check very carefully to find out what units you are talking in, so that you can see whether or not the one number compares favourably or not with the other. And since the speed test page is provided by your DSL provider, that suggests that any speed measurement is a measure of the raw speed of the line, whether or not you're sending data along it (try a simple experiment - measure once with a data transfer designed to take up maximum bandwidth, and then a second time without such a transfer, to see if the results are significantly different.

Just read Alun's responses!
Line speeds are measured in Kilobits (Kb), when your FTP client reports download/upload rates they're usually in KiloBytes (KB). 384 Kilobits = roughly 46 KiloBytes. No network connection is ever 100% efficient. 30KB rate sounds reasonable on a 384Kb line.
