Slow connection with FolderShare

03-31-2008

Hi, I have two server setup with foldershare. Both of them are behind routers
with UPnP enabled. My problem is that the connection speed when syncing is
just to slow it's around 40-70 K/s. Both of the servers are on 10/10Mbit
connection and when i'm trying the download speed using IE the speed it
around 700K-1M/s and then I use SSL when connecting to webpage. I've tryed
disabling UPnP and just port forward to servers, same speed. Both servers run
windows 2003. Is there anything else I can try? I need the encrypted
connection so I cannot disable it.

That sounds about right. FolderShare seems to try to only use half of
your available bandwidth. So if your available bandwidth is 1Mb/s, then
FolderShare will throttle itself to about 50KB/s.

Don't forget there's roughly a 10x difference between bits ('b') and
Bytes ('B').

I read the OP as saying his FS connection was 40-70 kbp/s which is 5kB/s.

my transfer speed is 50 kB/s it sounds crazy because of a 700mb file takes
hours to send. When trying to use ftp connection instead i get a speed around
700kB/s which sounds about right. Should it be like that?
