[VU+ Solo2] Vert slow FTP transfer spped

[Martincape]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know why my FTP transfer speed is so slow? It's ridiculous. It's normally faster than this. Im transferring over WIFI from laptop to Solo2 which is plugged into a gigabit Ethernet port on the router. I even tried connecting laptop via Ethernet, still the same painfully slow speed!!

Hi,
telnet to box and then ifconfig and look if you have errors. If you have very many errors try putting a gigabit switch between the Solo2 and your Router. I read some reports that the Solo2 does not like all switches. I assume your laptop has gigabit.

Try with one transfer at a time only.

ciao

I think it's linked to this issue pal, I've just replied to it.

The solo2 is attached via gigabit aswell. It's been fine till it's been randomly running slow.

can a reboot of all be of use?

 

[Martincape]

Yea rebooting brings the box back up to speed. But as soon as I try FTP'ing again, it's slow and it slows up the box again. Seems to be something to do with the hdd or the transfer function which is causing the issue.

Hi,
what about ifconfig? Do you have errors? If yes then it is a different thing.

What's if config pal?

Also, how do you initialise a drive, basically to format it on ViX. I can't remember lol

ifconfig
It is a telnet command to run on your receiver. Similar to ipconfig for windows.

Initialise:
Unmount the HDD first
Blue button > Vix > Mount Manager > Select device > Yellow for unmount

Then
Menu > Setup > System > Storage Devices > Initialisation

Does this ifconfig result look all ok lads?

What speed wifi? wifi is crap at best in most cases

The transfer rates in you picture is about right for wifi (makes no difference if you have a gigabit router, your chain is only as strong as your weakest link)

Hi,
looks OK. Take a look at the back of your Solo2 if the green or orange LED is blinking. If it is blinking it always talks to you switch/router to discuss the best transfer rate and it slows down actual transfer.

When your laptop has gigabit and you connect both with a cable you should get around 40MByte/sec.

I initially was getting around 16mb/sec before all these issues started. Laptop is connected via 5ghz wifi. I can download from the net at 10mb/sec lol. Internal transfer should be faster I would have thought.

I'm reflashing the box tomorrow. Got the hdd's re initialised and I mounted at the min.

Hopefully will sort it. I'll probably reflash tomorra and they will release Zeus day after lol

I'll probably reflash tomorra and they will release Zeus day after lol

Well, actually it was two days after I think

 

[Martincape]

I actually got it correct lol. Zeus released on the 11th, I said on the 9th that tomorra I would reflash then know my luck Zeus be released day after!!
