Nah, it's already been shown that this has nothing to do with the network. KotOR is just impossible to transfer efficiently (by standard FTP) due to the huge number of tiny files.
WTF How long to FTP a game to a p.c.! What's your record?

- Start date
About 9,000Kbps here is the average with boosts of 11,000 every now and then. Games don't seem to take that long, i'd say around 10-15 minutes.

Running through XBMC 1-20-05 I get on average 8-11M on the stroke. Pity I cant see the list when it sends the thing goes so fast I am at the bottom before I read the first line.
I'm using the Linksys wireless G router. The Xbox was connected with a wire to the router. My laptop, which was transferring the files to the Xbox is using a wireless G network card. I've also done it through a Linksys router with all wired connections. Same result. Maybe some tweaks can speed it up a bit, but the thousands of small files in KOTOR makes it a slow transfer.XCronus said:
I've pulled more than 11,400kbps using FTP between my pc and XBMC...and that was the average (~1gb file)
I have my xbox on a network through a switch and I get about 10,000 - 11,000 kbps Most games only take about 10 minutes I guess. I usually am not just sitting there watching them though.
I did not bother to try and FTP KotOR back onto newly installed HDD, used boXplorer instead from d to f, it took all of 25 mins....great.
I remember this game: Furious Karting, it was really a pain in the ass... it almost took me 4 hours... it was more than 50,000 files....
This I did not know. I guess I always thought it would wind up a an ISO on the xbox!fixitman said:
I'll have to give it a try.
My FTP transfers are real slow. a 2 gig game takes about an hour and a half.
I never really tried to speed it up because I really don't care. I just go do something else for a while or transfer while I'm out. When I get back it's always done.

Be sure your network card is 100Mbps and not an older 10Mbps. I made this mistake when I was first transferring games over 1 year ago. I used my "spare" PC which had an old 10Mbps network card in it. Damn, that was painful !!!
I have also discovered the Passive setting may have some effect.
From what i can gather i do not need this mode enabled as i have no firewall, so hopefully this should speed things along. Currently everytime it transfers a file it checks PASV compatibility and everytime it is not available / compatible. So it should now not do this little bit.
As you can see i am new to this subject so is there anyone out there who can confirm or deny my suspicions on the PASV setting?
Also i was wondering, i have transferred quite a number of games across to f\games\(The name i gave the game) however when i go into launch game in EVOX the name is not how i stipulated in the file string!! Why is that? Is Evox getting the name to display from elsewhere? I just assumed it would be the name i gave to the folder for that game.

I thought it took the name from the default.xbe of the game.
Also, I'm using a wireless G router so I doubt it's 10mbs. It's fairly new, I'm sure I could speed it up if I wanted to take the time to do it.

hi i am having some problems backing up my games could someone please help me get the programs and other resources which are required please help me thanks
my fastest time is about 8 minutes for a 3.5GB game. my fastest speed (using qwix) was a 32,000kbps on boost, but my usual average is between 11 and 13,000 kbps
that is absolutely correct, the name of any xbox game/app is indeed stored in the default.xbe file. i know this for a fact because, aside from when its been posted as such, i've modified the default.xbe's of the majority of my games and apps to make my menus look nicer.Floppy Mohawk said:
What's the speed of the network card in the PC though ? If it's an old 10Mbps card, that would be a bottleneck. That was my situation when I initially transferred some games from my PC to the Xbox.Floppy Mohawk said:
I tried using Quix to transfer the ISO last night. It was faster but still slow. Did 2 gigs in about an hour.

I must admit that I have never had a problem FTP'ing either to or from the XBox. My setup is:
PC (10/100/1000 Card) -> 3com 10/100 Switch -> Xbox
Using FlashFXP To EvoX dash I average 8000K from PC to XBox and 10/11000K XBox to PC.
Using FlashFXP To X3CL I only get 8000K either way - do you have to activate the boost mode? Or is there something I am missing?
Other than that I'm gonna look into Qwix as it seems to beat all of these speeds!
