Just curious of knowing what is your fastest speed!
If anyone as a high one, could you plz post how you do it so we can all get some profit out of it!

See ya guys!
SNICK!
15 megabytes per second with me

this dash is GREAT!
Lonecrow
15mbsec?!?!?!

i can barelly touch 1.2 mbsec!!

how did you do that>?
SNICK!
well i have allot of space on my pc hard drive(that helps a bit)


otherwise i dont know

hey i remember this post, anyway yeah i found out it was a speed reading error i was using a ftp client that was in beta. i switched about 2 weeks later to flashfxp and it was working at 8.


cheerz
SNICK!
and i am using the evox m7 bios

I believe your transfer speed more based on how ur network is setup than what dash u are using. I get about about 1.2 MBps with my 10 mbps / 100 mbps hub, but I have to setup a VPN (which is a pain to do everytime). Without a VPN, I get about 14 kbps, heh. I really all depends on the speed of ur network card, hub/router, ur cable (Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6), and the xbox network card maybe limited to a certain speed(??). Anyway thats my 2 cents.

Hows ur network setup Snick?
Lonecrow
nice!

Maybe thats a good point, well try this.

As for me, if i try using 10 BaseT halfduplex, i get around 30 kbsec.
CaTcHa
F!*k me I think Ive seen it all now from you USA MXM crowd , if measuring your ftp speed is important in your life you need to get girlfriends and try one up the ass.


Bush has tought you well
Lonecrow
you are a fucking moron aren't you?

if you think we have to get a life, think about what you for 2 sec, loosing your time to come here and write all this shit, get a life bitch.

Lonecrow:

Dude you need to upgrade to 10/100 if your're getting just 1MB/s. I get 7-8MB/s all the time.
Just a simple 10/100 Nic and Crossover cable will get you going for under $10.
Lonecrow
yeah this is what i have currently:

Crossover cable pluged into my PC directly
Simple NIC 10/100 10$
10 BaseT Full duplex
Win XP Pro
Cute FTPFlash FXP

I get around 1.2 mbitsec
....Im lying, ive already touched 1.8 wink.gif

Is this suposed to be fine?

No something is very wrong you should be getting 4-5 times that speed. You should not have 10Base T you should have 100Base T, Full Duplex if possible.

thats impossible

a 100mbit lan can not run that fast,, its just impossible.

ok not imposible,, well yes impossible.. 5mbit per socond is on par for a 100mbit lan

i can get 8meg + with evox and i have nmo clue how they do it.

but 15 ?? i find that hard to believe.

sorry for my skepticiscm but do the math and read about tcp protocals and speed. 15 meg per second is just not happening.

i would say its a speed reading error.

and if it IS actually going that fast then the people who wrote the code need to be working for M$ or cisco or something and start making new windows protocals and nic cards that run that fast


and i only get about 6 meg with mxm
Yoritomo
I've found that Evox tranfers faster since I use MXM dashes with animation usually.

I switch over to Evox before I start a transfer.
yourwishismine
I've found that when I eject the XBOX DVD Drive drawer and put my THINGY in it... while shoving the DVD DONGLE up my BUNGHOLE... I can average a transfere speed of 100 MEGABYTES per second.

NOT SHIT man... try it.. it really works...

I have this setup:

Windows XP ProSP1
P4-2ghz-128mb ddr
100gb hdd in 7part-40gb ALWAYS EMPTY
for transferring games.
onboard lan

So, as you see, not TOO high specs there.
And I get at leats 9-10megs a second.
I transfer back & forth with video previews & background music playing on MXM. No problems. I have touched near 13 mbps with this setup.

I connect straight from my xbox to my PC w/crossover.

I couldn't imagine constantly going at less than 4 mbps!

5.1 mbsec

have a wireless router from topcom..(but xbox en pc is not in wireless)

To the xbox from the PC I get about 7,000 KBps, with it going down drastically with a fuck ton of smaller files. From I get about 11,000 KBps. This is using the FTP server with 'highest priority' and FlashFXP, though I hate FlashFXP it beats 40 KBps (To XBOX, about the same as FlashFXP from) with AceFTP 3.0.
geniusalz
I get 7-10 megs/second

The xbox has a 100Base-T NIC, and a 100Base-T network has a theoretical maximum transfer speed of 12.5 MB/sec (MB=megabytes, 100 Base-T = 100mbits/sec, 8bits=1byte), though in the real world that's rarely reached. I consistently get just over 10MB/sec both ways with MXM 0.9n6 on a switched 100Base-T network, and I'm delighted with that.
Any PC with a 100Base-T NIC should be able to get 7-10 MB/sec with a decent (Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6) crossover cable to the xbox - much less than that and there's probably something wrong with the network set-up or hardware (eg the network cable has been damaged, the RJ45 terminations are marginal, the network is running half duplex instead of full, or 10Base-T instead of 100, in which case you'd be getting 1MB/sec or worse). Any real FTP client (Internet Explorer doesn't necessarily fit that bill) should be capable of 100Base-T speeds, and MXM's server clearly is.
Lonecrow
yeah but if i set my NIC to 100baseT full duplex, then it never wants to connect to the Xbox...

Even worse, if i try 100baseT half duplex, then i get transert rate of 10-15 kbsec...
Can it be my crossover cable?

Its likely that you have only a 10 baseT crossover cable.

Try buying a new one, all of them are at least 10/100 nowadays.
Lonecrow
fine ill go buy one right now, and by the way, dyou know if i want to play with 3 xbox in link system, if i pass through a HUB if i need to ahve crossover cable or RJ45 standard would do?

Thanks
koldfuzion
if you connect 3 xboxes with a hub you need to use straight through, not cross over.
geniusalz
My router works with either straight or crossover
Gmc
Using a crossover cable, I get speeds between 5-10mb/s.
angelfly
crossover from xbox to pc get me an average of 8mb/s

yea, some routers have auto-pin sensing and will swap them around for you.

hubz are normally dumb as hell

switches route packets better.. but normally dont have pin sensing.... though some newer ones might.


crossovers are used normally to connect two pc's together without a hub

crossovers are used when connecting hub to hub when no uplink port is provided and pin sensing isnt a feature

straight through cables should normally be used anytime a network device connects to a hub or switch directly.
Lonecrow
ok so i should use normal RJ-45 Cable?
irajames1176
Yes use a standard RJ-45 cable with the hub, a crossover cable would be for if you DIDN'T have a hub and were just going to connect your pc to your xbox directly

I used to get 500k a sec then changed network card on laptop to a 32bit cardbus card and I got approx 1,300 kbps according to Flash FXP

On my desktop to xbox I've achieved 5,000 kbps on a 35mb file, like said elsewhere small files slow right down.

Interestingly I also have a PAL xbox, 1.4 with an 80GB Hard disk.

nearly forgot the most important bit using a 100mbit crossover cable, interestingly laptop to pc on same cable is a lot faster so I don't think it's the cable.
Gmc
Ok, for some reason now with mxm I only get between 3-5mb/s max...yet Xbmc always goes at like 9/10mb/s. Awesome.

is this all the f**k u do??? somebody please ban this asshole.
oh wait, i know why u hate mxm... u tried it and couldnt get it to run so now all u do is bash it. to advanced for ya huh???

misterninja
mxm i get aroung 3megs/sec but on evox i get anything from 8meg/sec to 15meg/sec
and when my comp is running slow i get 25megs a sec biggrin.gif


and to Catcya or whoever potsed that stupid reply ..... you need to get a life....and also you sound like a redneck and i hate rednecks... grr.gif
LukeMan UK
I aint sure why but when i try to get a file of my Xbox it goes a LOT slower than the other way round unsure.gif
somedude1506
If I set my NIC to 100Base/Full Duplex I get a max of 1MB/s, and that's pushing it. When I set my NIC to 100Base/Half Duplex I get 4-5 MB/s. I'm using a Cat5 cable and a d-link router.
pelago
If you've set your PC to work at full-duplex and it goes slower than at half-duplex, that means the other end of the connection is still set to half-duplex. If you're going via a router then you need to reconfigure the router to go at full-duplex too.
a2002adam
I think the speeds are pretty random - i generally get 3-4Mbps but i think it probably depends on which way the transfer's going (xbox to pc, pc to xbox) - i wud say that it's also down to the hdd's and their activity/spin speed but i did a load of stuff on my pc hdd and then ftp'ed a game to it and got 10Mbps (both hdd's 5200rpm). Obviously it also depends on the quality of the disk, and maybe the dash. I use Unleash X now, mainly cause MXM takes too long to load up and is way behind in features. Oh yeh, I've got a direct crossover cable connection, that helps.

Yeah I use a router. How do I configure it to work at full duplex? By "other end of the connection," do you mean the xbox? Is there an option in mxm to configure the xbox for full or half? Sorry for the n00b questions man.
pelago
In your case, the other end of the connection is your router. Most devices auto-detect whether they should be half or full duplex, but it sounds like your router isn't doing that, so you might need to delve into its management interface.

If you are connecting directly to the Xbox, I haven't seen any way of configuring the Xbox duplex settings.
trevorj
I get ~7-9mb/s with mxm, but with xbmc I get 10-11.5mb/s all the time... so it's obvious to which one I use for file transfers wink.gif

100 base-t full duplex network with...

Gentoo Linux, using gftp or konqueror, depends on the job wink.gif
hacked linksys wrt54g router ( I don't use a crossover to my desktop )
tulip-based network card with fast switching enabled ( maybe this helps? )
loki
how exactly is your router *hacked*???

I get between 5-9mb/s on evox, havent tried mxm tho wink.gif

omg you ppl. i am a network engineer. my network constantly pushes 70,000k my average push to my xbox is around 27,000k or 27mbit p/s. i am using a netgear gig card in my pc and a cisco 3750G switch. do not use crossover cables you cheap asses crossover cables will cause more packet collisions between boxes than ever. if you want real speed use a GOOD switch.

kforce

ps the guy that said 10/100 cards will average 5mbit? then how does my 10mbit internet function?
ILLusions0fGrander
isnt 27,000 near impossible for the xbox's nic? isnt 12,000 or so the max speed?
FrightfoO
I get above the 3000Kbps up'ing to the Xbox (something between 4000Kbps(3.9Mbps)-5000Kbps (4.89Mbps) is peak) and I get like 7000 kbps (6.83Mbps) down from the Xbox to PC.

---------------------------

Are you serious? Normally I would have assumed that this is a mis-informed post and could have skipped by, save the part where you are a self-proclaimed "network engineer" and your overall tone and lack of respect for this thread.

"27mbit" to your xbox. Now I'm not sure if you meant 27 Megabit/sec to your xbox, which is sad considering the network you claim to have. Or perhaps you meant 27 Megabyte/sec, which is equally sad since this far exceeds the possible transmit rate of the xbox interface. I'll give you time to recalculate your numbers and maybe get back to us.

The part that concerns me the most is your statement that "crossover cables will cause more packet collisions between boxes than ever". The previous statement suggests that you do not understand the difference between layer 1 and layer 2 switching. Where exactly are the other packets being generated from when 2 devices are connected via crossover? A transmits to B and in turn B transmits to A. Why then would A transmit to C when there is no C on the network? And on the flip side, how would C introduce packets to either A or B without physical connectivity? I'll keep it as basic as the aforementioned. While there may be other advantages using a switch, I believe the best overall bandwidth results would be had by the use of a crossover cable.


For the sake of the thread, I get an average of about 8MB/sec to my xbox using Flashfxp, a crossover cable and MXM. When I had the xbox on the network I'd get around 6 - 7MB depending on the usage. I'm currently upgrading my network. Maybe I'll be able to hit 8MB with better equipment. Now mind you, these stats are from flashfxp, which once informed me that I was pulling 12MB/sec from my xbox and I don’t think is possible (other than theoretically) on a 100Mb switched network. The difference was that the data was being transferred to a server with SCSI drives, but I still think it was misreporting its speed.

Bah, I was wondering why my speeds suck. My hub is an old 10mbps one.. time to get a router.
