Very Slow FTP Uploads Over Wireless

[FastShow]

originally posted over at xbox scene, but no-one could really help:

ok, i've got xbmc installed and my xbox seems happy enough. everything works absolutely fine, except when i ftp in and try to upload. even though i'm running an 11mbps wireless network, i top out at 150kb/s when uploading. whilst i appreciate that i will never see anything like true 11mbps on wireless, i expect a damn site more than 150kb/s up, since i make that ~1.5mbps!

any ideas? i've tried bulletproofftp (50kb/s up), flashfxp (150kb/s up) and smartftp (150kb/s up). i'll double-check pc to pc through router connections are getting decent speeds tonight, but as far as i am aware they are.

cheers in advance!

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

since i posted the above, i upgraded my entire network to 54g in an effort to speed things up, however, on the new 54mbps network, the fastest upload i've managed so far is 380kb/s, so still way, way down on what i hoped for.

so, if anyone can think of anything that would help, i'm all ears!

try adding <item name="buffer size" type="numeric">32768</item> to the settings section in filezilla server.xml

nope, not helped. *i should point out that there's every possibility that this is nothing to do with xbmc, but i just can't for the life of me fathom it.

current setup, fyi, is:

wireless adapter on pc <-> wireless router <-> wireless adapter on xbox

all are 54mbps...

and my current filezilla settings are:

the adapter on the xbox is the linksys wga54g, the router is a netgear dg834g and the adapter on the pc is the 54g netgear adapter that matches the router.

anyone got any suggestions at all? this is doing my head in!

try a wired network first to really narrow it down that the problem really is the wireless and not something else, basic troubleshooting

nah, i like my method of troubleshooting: change 500 variables and try again. if it works, i've got no idea what fixed it, if it doesn't, i've got to start from scratch again 'cos everything's different!

i'll stick my laptop into the xbox tonight with a wired connection and see how that goes.

oh, and try ftp to/from a other xbox dashboard too (like evox, and/or avalaunch, etc.), again basic problem determination

ah ha! ahead of you on that one. i've tried unleashx and xbmc - both result in near identical speeds.
