Poor network performance..?

[Kent J]

Hi all,

I have a Win2003 server and I have very poor performance when
downloading files from FTP - 1 meg takes up to two minutes.
There's no problem to upload data - 1 meg takes less than a second.
I can can't see that there's a problem with my network card.

How can I troubleshoot this problem?

Kent J.

Are you behind a Linksys box?

Hi,

Sorry, I don't know.
It's my the company network.
Can I check this?

Hello Kent,

So it is not "your" network? If you are a user then you have to talk to your
system administrator.

Then you need to be bringing this problem to the people that run the company
network.

Well, we have outsourced the network to a big company (I??).
It's not easy to deal with these guys.
I must have proof that there is a problem with the network.

I'm told that there maybe something wrong with my network adapter.
I can't find any problem with the network adapter.
I have communication - only poor performance.

Can a problem with the network adapter only be related to download?
How can I check the network adapter?
Can I check the network from my server?

What companies do is throttle each user to a specified amount of
bandwidth so every user gets some. Go to start, settings, network and
dial-up connections and do a right click on local connection. Then do
a left click on status and under speed see what it is set at. If it is
10.0 Mbps tell your network people, if it is set at 100 Mbps there is
not much they can do, you are already set to the max.

OK!
I'll do that.
But the speed is not near 10 Mbps it's more like 30 kb download speed.

Like I said if it is set at 100Mbps then they are throttling you and
there is not much you can do except complain. They do this so one
person does not hog all the bandwidth that the company has. Everyone
is slow, but at least everyone gets something.

Yes, my network adapter is set to 100 Mbps.
But how can this 'throttling' only affects FTP-download (port 21)?
If I send 100 meg of data to my SQL-server then there's no delay.
Can the 'throttling' be set to a specific port (impossible to answer - I
guess)?

ABSOLUTELY, yes it can be set to only throttle incoming ports from the
net.
