FTP Uploading Speed

[gwlam12]

Is there a way to increase upload speed to FTPs? I can download fast, about 75K/sec, but when I upload, it goes from 0K to 15K

Your upload is probably capped at 128k. That's about what I get when I upload...10/12 k per second...I have 512/128 cable connection.

Thanks...but when uploading to friends through AIM, I got at 300k/sec

300 Kilobits or Kilobytes? I think AIM means 300kb which is around 30KB a sec.... I higly doubt you can upload at 300KB with a regular cable modem.

Oh i'm using a university connection. I think it's 300KB. I get 700 Meg files in about half an hour to an hour

Then that's not a cable modem, it's probably a T1 or T3 connection. Some colleges cap people's upload speeds though so they won't run servers and sh*t. That's probably it then. Downloading they don't cap, so it'll be like 500KB a sec but uploading they probably do.

do the friends on AIM go to your school also? maybe it's sending through the network

 

[gwlam12]

Nope. I'm at UCSD and I'm sending to people at UCLA and USC

 

[GhettoFob]

I think all the UC's are on the same network, not sure about USC, are these the same people trying to get on your ftp?

Here's an idea. Go to dslreports.com and run a speed test to see what kind of upload you can get.
