Re: move files from one Windows computer to another over internet
Note: ADSL has an upload and a download speed. The upload is quite a lot
slower, try divide by 10.
How big are the files?
What do you mean by slow? Are you comparing with a wired network connection?
Typical wired connection speeds currently are 100mbps, that's 100 mega bits
per second, roughly divide by 10 for a figure in bytes per second. (Gigabit
network cards are coming in). Compare with your internet connection speed. I
have just managed to get an upgrade to 7500kbps download, 488kbps upload.
This gives me a theoretical upload speed of approximately 0.488% of the
wired network transfer speed.
Incidentally, these figures are the same regardless of the operating system.
