HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Screen Flickering

« on: December 22, 2012, 05:21:42 PM »

Team,

I'm using 2.3 beta, latest version.

My server usually has several channels open. Right now I have 45 IPs connected to it.

The lower part of the screen, the part that shows the status, speed, time left etc, needs to update lots of info several times to keep up with that many connections.

The effect is a screen that flickers all the time. The top part of the screen where we see the file system and log works fine.

I have other apps that also update the screen with a very high frequency but none show this behavior.

Anyone else with this problem? Is this something particular to my install, video driver?

I'm on W7-64, Nvidia latest drivers.

Just want to add that if I have only a few downloads active the flickering issues does not happen. Or, if it does, it's not enough for me to notice.

Thanks for any info.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Fios & HFS

I know for a fact that FiOs blocks port 80. don't waste your time.

Not anymore. Port 80 is opened is many places with Fios (I guess everywhere, but I can't confirm).

I used to have HFS setup for port 8080, but now 80 is working just fine.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / problem solved

On my Windows Vista I had to setup DefaultSendWindow in the registry.

Both HFS and Firefox seem to use this parameter.

IE7 doesn't need it.

After setting up DefaultSendWindow correctly, my speed is now ok.

I'd suggest having this in the docs.

No, machine is fine, both cores around 4% with 7-8% spikes.

Thanks.

CPU is fine. I have a dual core machine and the machine is performing only the file transfer. Nothing else.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / very strange problem

« on: December 27, 2008, 08:52:24 AM »

Hi there folks,

I have this weird problem while trying to run hfs.

My home network has 3 computers: one running vista, one windows xp and another one running linux/asterisk.

Today I realized that HFS on W Vista was extremely slow. Maximum of 68K per transfer "channel" on FIOS with 5 mbits/s upload.

First I though the problem was on HFS. So I installed another HTTP server but the results were the same.

Next I tried HFS on my XP machine and people were able to download stuff at 5 Mbits/s, my upload bandwidth. But on the Vista machine it was extremely slow.

My Vista is a legal copy, fully updated. I disables the firewall and anti virus, with no luck.

I started to believe the problem was on my network card. So I tried something different: I opened a WinSCP session on my Internet provider and uploaded a 4 gugabytes ISO file to it. And it worked perfectly, with very good transfer speed (almost all my bandwidth).

So, bottom line: on my XP machine, HFS works fine.

On my Vista machine the HFS does not work. Similar software don't work either. But WinSCP transfers work just fine.

Any idea what I should do to try to fix this problem with the VISTA machine? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
