Moving files through network

[GIXXERGUY6]

Transfer speeds:

taskman says I'm using 81% of 100Mbps

why not 100%?

it's jumping around as well from 20-81

is there something I can change?

5.31 gb said 30 minutes then dropped down to 22 and is now at 16.

going wired to wired through a netgear wnr2000


*edit before I even posted :D

it's not a gigabit router does that matter much? that and the laptop is a c640 with no gigabit as well(but my desktop is)

I thought 100 meant 100 not 80% of 100 lol.

Let me hear your insight

when I'm moving files from one pc to another on my 100mb/s router it usually says 80~90% also, but,, on the recieving machine it is only accually moving 8~9mb/s.

not sure how that works myself but I guess there must be something pinging the information back as a check or somthing.

I think for true 100mb/s action you have to fun a full duplex LAN or somthing,, not sure.

[deed]

Could be hardrve limitations also?

Anyways what os are you running and turbo is right... you will almost never get over 90%

There can be a few reasons for a hold up moving files over a home network.

Overhead I/O, you have to set some bandwidth aside for the return "yes it made it, please send more data". If one machine cannot keep up, your going to have a slow transfer
CRC data integrity checks on both sides
fragmented hard drive(s) or both drives are spinning all over the platter making space
router or switch is hitting its limits and filling cache up
chipset is not operating fully. Could be a loose or bad cable or the drivers gone bonkers

Keep in mind. That 100Mb will show on your machine as 8/100 = 12.5MB. So anything around 10-11MB is pretty good considering. 9MB is about average. Here is some basics of ACK, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACK_%28TCP%29)

This is a networking thread, not a "i'm from crapland" :shock:


HAHAHA I'm sorry, I would rather live in Cleveland than Toledo. Thank god I'm West/Southwest of the airport :D

[EarthDog]
