Slow FTP speeds?

[ball00]

Hi don't know if it's normal but when I FTP to my two slim consoles the speed is really slow. It takes about 15mins to transfer 1gb using winscp from windows 7 PC via wireless connection. Is this about as good as it gets or is there anyway to speed it up? What kind of speeds are you lot seeing?

use a wired connection instead

That helps, also I find that FlashFXP gives me slightly faster transfer speeds than other FTP clients.

Using an old pc and filezilla through wired connection gets me 12mb/second on average. You stated that it takes 15 minutes to transfer 1gb but didnt start the actual speed tranfer rates.

Also avoid sending multiple files at ones and just send one file at a time.

Ok I get 1mb/s max wirelessly. I know I can use a wired transfer but may I keep everything on external usb so I may as well unplug and transfer to it by usb.

Just wanted to know if I had to get up off the sofa to transfer or if I could live a lazy wasters life at a better speed or if my speeds were normal.

with the new freestyle dash there's no need to ftp games across anymore, you can run all your games from a shared folder on your pc.

But then I have to get up and turn my pc on. Yeah it's a cool idea but why would I clutter up my PC hard drive with game files I can only use on my xboxes. Movies ok I can stream them so I can see the point. I have at least 500gb external usb drives on each of my 360s with 2Tb on two of them so it seems pointless keeping Xbox games on my pc drive except for the fun of trying it once.

I just wanted to know if my ftp speeds were normal. If so I'll unplug the usb drives and transfer files on to them through usb.
