my FTP speed

my FTP speed

[Glenn at home]

I did the following:
ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500
I am not sure if this will make a difference, anyone want to try?
If it does not help, I will try it with 1492, to see if that helps.
go to 24.116.252.4
Thanks in advance.
Glenn.

If you're on cable, using pppoe/pppoa, I wouldn't set your MTU all the
way to 1500, which will most certainly decrease your performance, and
may even end up getting you shut down by your ISP, because it would
appear to their systems that you're trying to use more then your
allowed bandwidth continually, or at least I've heard of a too high
MTU causing such things with pppoe.

Hi Glenn:
I just checked out your ftp server and I see what you are talking about.  
I was not getting more than 2.5 K-bytes per sec, that is not right.  It 
is slow for sure, unless other people were downloading from you at the 
same time.  I don't think so though, because I tried two different 
times, about 1 hour appart.  Anyway, have you made sure that your FTP 
server is not limiting your speed to around 2.5 KB/Sec?  I have an FTP 
server running from my Linux machine also and I get speeds of around 27 
K-bytes per second.  So, the only thing I can think of is that your FTP 
server is limiting the speed.  I can't not imagine what else could cause 
this to happen.

What's an mtu?  What is it used for just uploading?

I believe that MTU stands for maximum transfer unit, and I also
believe that it specifies the size of packets your interface can send
and receive. This is for upload, and download. I do stand to be
corrected on this post.
