Look for subjects that say something about speed of Nic card or upload ftp performance. There has been 4 or 5 threads in the last 2 weeks on this subject. But to summarize, the problem seems to be with any Nic card in a FBSD system that ends up sharing a irq with some other device has performance degradation. Look for a shared IRQ between the AGP Slot and the 1st PCI slot. A FBSD gateway/fireway server does not need a AGP video card. I put in a cheap isa vga video card and the Nic slow down went away. If you are testing using Winbox ftp then get ftp-pro from www/ipswitch.com it's the fastest ftp win client on the market. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Cole Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2002 7:18 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Ftp problems Evening, if someone does reply to this, mind bouncing a cc to my email since im not subscribed to the list, thanx. On to the problem, im running FreeBSD 4.5, and the server im connecting to with ftp is using FreeBSD 4.4. My problem is that when downloading via ftp , every say 15-20 seconds my download speeds will drop from 4k/s to 0k/s and then bounce right back up and continue with this behaviour. I did hear talk of this being a 4.4 problem, but upon searching the mailing list, i could not find anything matching this. If someone knows the respective topic or a previous post concerning this same problem, would you mind just telling me the list or the topic of the email.
