Local network: uploads way slower than downloads on local network

YES! Changed it to ffffffff and now I'm getting nice and consistent 500mbps uploads to a slow laptop! THANK YOU!

Hi there

@herzzreh

thanks for interesting discussion. Glad its working.

@clam1952 -- good tip --repped you.

I've repped clam1952 - --perhaps you should too

I got it sort of right by eliminating every other cause - including testing an other OS (Linux) so fault after all other stuff had been eliminated was Windows itself

That's where I couldn't do any more - I don't know much about all these Windows settings so thanks to Clam1952 again


Windows networking for me though is still a BIG one of these : !!!!

I'm sad to say that the issue is back. Whatever it is, it's definitely Windows shenanigans as Linux live boot saturates the link but Win continues to peak at ~50Mbps.

Hi there

@herzzreh

mine's still working -- but looking at my "Doggy Friend above" I'd definitely not use Windows clients for transferring large files over a Network -- if it's possible get yourself a small self powered USB 3 device and use back the same method we used back in my old IBM mainframe days when we had large tape reels -- this method we called "FOOTNET" --nothing to do with Football (US or European versions) but we simply unloaded a tape from Machine A walked it over to machine B (hence FOOTNET !) and mounted it physically on Machine B.

Just copy file(s) to your USB3 HDD from the server and then attach the HDD to the local machine. Even better if it's an SSD - then use SATA-->USB3 connector.

For typical size files using the server over the network should be fine -- but I know it feels silly when your performance is about 15% of what you SHOULD be getting.

Worth checking the registry entry is still there on all involved PC's, can't think why it wouldn't be but with Windows anything is possible.

Alternatively you could Try TeraCopy which can replace the normal copy / move functions of Explorer and is actually faster than without the registry tweak. TeraCopy for Microsoft Windows - Code Sector

Try testing while in Safe Mode with Networking.

Also I notice you have an ASUS m/b. I found some similar threads where ASUS "Network iControl" was the problem (even when turned off). Do you have anything similar installed?
