OK yeah well I'm FTPing NFSU 2 from my xbox to my computer and getting a max speed of 12KB. I'm using FlashFXP I have also tried using IE to FTP yeah it was estimating 6 days for completion so I went back to FlashFXP. Its not the cable either because I can usually FTP to the xbox at over 300KB. So is the xbox just slow at sending or what?

Still sounds like the cable! You should be getting between 7-11MB/s in transfer rates.

What cable are you using? If it's a crossover, how long is it? Did you make it yourself?

Are you running any other protocols on your Ethernet Adapter? Things like firewalls, p2p blockers etc throttle download speeds.

If not, then I'd definitely say the cable is at fault.

Not that I know of I have a wireless internet card plugged into the PCI, but thats about it. The cable is just going from my Mobos ethernet to the xbox

LOL that would do it, now getting about 800KB. Thanks a bunch Martin C
I wouldn't leave it there - try Half-Duplex 100Mbit..

I still think it's worth trying another cable as this is a telltale sign of a bad cable.

have you tried using the same cable? ie unplug the cable from the other computer and connect to the Xbox?

damn I'm glad I'm not getting that slow of speeds, but hell i've never seen mine go above 2,500Kbps on a wired Connection, wish i could take advantage of that full 11,000kbps

No - I'm saying that I still think there's a problem with your cable.

"Half and Full Duplex Operation
Note that communication between a node and the hub is carried on in "half duplex" mode. That is, at a given time a node can be either transmitting or receiving a packet, but not both at the same time. It didn't take long for somebody to notice that this half-duplex mode of operation does not make full use of the available wiring. Since there are separate wires for transmit and receive, why not transmit and receive at the same time?"

Half-duplex only uses one pair of wires. If there's a break in one of the other pairs and you use full-duplex, then you're gonna get timeouts..

Stick with Half-duplex if you want. Unless you're gonna be sending and receiving data at the same time, you won't notice much of a difference.
