increase upload speed

[comphollic]

I am running my own webserver...got it to work and everything seems to run fine.
now ppl seems to be downloading files at a speed of only 46KB....my ISP gives me upload speeds up to 900KBps...

is there anyway i can increase the speed..i dont want it to go up to 900kbps...but somethin around 100kbps or a little more...

i am using IIS 5.1 and running Windows XP Pro....is there a sollution to this?

If you mean 900kbps as in kilobits, you have a theoretical max of 112KB/s. Are you used to seeing transfers around 100KB/s when uploading files elsewhere? It sounds as if you are actually limited at 384kbps up or so as long as you are doing these tests with absolutely no other network activity going on.

Do they use the term "burst" anywhere in stating their speeds?

you really have to be careful with your capitolization. Kb and KB is not the same. Are you on dsl? cause on dsl its probaly only kbps adn having 900 up is an odd number. if it is cable, that speed will fluctuate (as will yoru download).

try a speed tester to see wht your speeds really are: http://dslreports.com/tools

Wow you are lucky.

46KB/sec = 369kb/sec.*

You only wanted 100Kb/sec.

Any way checks your ISP TOS speeds.

Many ISP are at 384Kb/sec. Upload you are at 396Kb/sec. looks about right.

*Note? b=bit B=Byte 1B=8bits.

bingo.

im not on DSL...im using cable OOL
they said i can download at 10mbits and upload at 1mbit, even though i rarely reach those speeds when downloading..but hey, its there...

anyways i've gotten suggestions to use an ftp server, will this increase the download speeds?
thx for the replies

Like you said, you rarely reach those speeds. Your max upload is 1000Kb or 125KB. So, your are getting about 50% of your speed. You have to remember, cable is shared and you may not always get your max speed. Also, you have to acount for the Acks that are sent if you are downloading at the same time.You actually have a pretty good upload. My upload is rated at 256Kb or 32KB.

I am starting to be tired acting as a Dentist (my degree is not even in Dentistry).

It seems lately that One have to "Pull the Info" out of people who are seeking Help.

But what the heck, did you try this:

Download DrTCP: <a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.dslre
ports.com/front/DRTCP021.exe">http://www.dslreports.com/front/DRTCP021.exe</a>

Run the program, it will show the current settings of TCP/IP parameters. Write them down.

You can change any variable that you want, click Apply, and reboot the computer, if no good; you can always change to your original values.

Start with:

MaxMTU - for DSL =1492 Cable=1500 DialUp=576

Tcp Receive - 255552

Window Scaling - Yes

Time Stamping - No

Selective Acks - Yes

Path MTU Discovery - Yes.

Black Hole - NO

Max Duplicate - 2

TTL - 64

Notice it said above Start with

These settings are not written in "stone" there is variability depending on the computer other setting. So try few setting and measure your Download for each setting.

In addition, in case a person has a Router the Router's MTU if set differently can affect the general MTU.

ftp might help, if all you are doign is serving files to people and arent really interested int he webpages. it is what ftp was designed to do, as opposed to http. you can always run both.


with that said, you are bottlenecked by your cable service. Cable service very rarely gives anything close to 100% of what they offer, due to the sharing nature of cable.

Try running a speed test, to see what speeds you are running at and see if that is about what people are pulling off of you. 10mb down 1mb up? interestng, 10 down is a ton. not bad. But runa speed test and post your results.

Martind1 --
I ran the speed tests in dslreports.com
I ran it many times during the morning, noon, afternoon, late afternoon, early evening, etc....even at 3am....
and i usually get consistant speeds---it has never dropped below 9300kb down/900kb up and once in a while i surpass the speed of 10mb down and 1mb up

thx for sugg. Ill try your advice JackMDS and hopefully it will help
