Hello, my problem is: I have a new VPS in Contabo, and everytime I start an upload the transfer speed starts at 2MB/s and then slows down to 80KB/s, my upload link is 50Mb/s. This issue occurs when I´m uploading a big file, it´s like there is some limit, I have also tested to upload 10 big files at the same time, all the files have been uploaded at 80Kb/s each at the same time. I also have tested this in another computers and another ISP, all the same, but there is something even stranger. This 80KB/s upload rate is only in windows, when i upload the same file in the same ISP from linux, the upload rate starts at the same 2MB/s then slows down to 500KB/s, and if i upload 10 files, the same thing happens, all the 10 files uploads at 500KB/s each.
The download speed is ok, 10MB/s, this issue is only in uploads, even when i upload a file by the cpanel file manager this upload speed is limited to 80KB/s.
I have tested pureftp and proftp, same problem on booth, i have tested uploads via ftp, sftp and scp, same problem, i have tested many ftp clients like: filezilla, cuteftp, winscp and coreftp. I have also tested with speedtest-cli in ssh, the results was: 100Mb/s download, 100Mb/s Upload.
My first guess was that it´s a firewall problem, but no, i have turned off the firewall, no changes.
I also have a reseller acocunt and a shared host in Hostgator, in booth of then the upload speed is about 5MB/s to 8MB/s
I don´t know what to do anymore. I really aprreciate if someone could help me to find a solutions for this.
Best regards.

This question has been asked so many times that I've decided it deserves its own thread (as I can't be bothered to explain to people anymore!). So you're getting slow FTP speeds, there is a chance it could be a problem with your router/switch - ideally you should have your xbox connected directly to your router for best results and the occasional reboot of the router doesn't hurt. Below are the settings you should be using if you want the quickest ftp results:The download speed is ok, 10MB/s, this issue is only in uploads, even when i upload a file by the cpanel file manager this upload speed is limited to 80KB/s.

Solution to slow FTP Server speeds (Filezilla and others). A user told me that he uses IIS FTP Server with no such speed issues. This instantly told me that something wasn’t implemented or optimised properly on Filezilla and Gene6 FTP Server (the two servers I use). I started looking at the possibilities and quickly found the solution.
If you're planning on ftp'ing lots of small files over then you want as many connections open as possible, the xbox can handle 10 simultaneous connections at any time. This means you're copying 10 items at a time rather than one or two, obviously this is massively going to increase the speed of the transfer.On PC:
Install FileZilla, FlashFXP is ok but personally I have better results with FileZilla and it's free.
Open up FileZilla and go to Edit>Settings>Transfers> and set maximum simultaneous transfers to 9.
Go to Edit>Settings>Transfers>File Types and set default type to Binary.
Go to Server>and make sure 'Force showing hidden files' is ticked.
On Xbox:
Load UnleashX (if you used HeXEn to softmod it will be in your E:/Dash folder - just click on the .xbe file to load).
Go to Xbox Admin>System>Settings>Network>Set Max No Of Users to 10
Exit and save changes, reboot.
Load up UnleashX and all should be good to go.
Copying large files (such as music & videos):
You can only transfer at a maximum rate of 10mb/s so we don't want to be copying lots of files simultaneously as there's much more chance of something going wrong, you're better off just having one (certainly no more than 2) connections as this will use full bandwidth for your files. If you imagine 10 movies ftp'ing over at 1mb/s each it's going to take the same amount of time to ftp but there's a much greater risk of something going wrong. You only need an error halfway through and you've got none of your 10 movies copied over. If you had it setup as only one connection you'd have each movie transferring at the full 10mb/s meaning it should be nice and quick and if you do get a drop on the network or something goes wrong you've only got that one file that needs doing again.
Steps to take:
Install FileZilla as mentioned above but just keep the maximum simultaneous transfers to 2.
Load up XBMC4Xbox and ftp to your hearts content
You can use any dash but XBMC4Xbox is already setup for 2 transfers so I usually just use that and keep UnleashX setup for maximum transfers when doing games/apps.
