Ok, first off just wanted to say HFS is one of the best pieces of software I have used in a long time. I have absolutely no complaints other than wanting Unicode support, but I can get past that for the other variety of features that this has. It could never have Unicode support and I would be fine with the richness otherwise. It's way better than the competitor product that I'm sure others here have used before that starts with WWW as the program name. I was using that before HFS, and I have already tossed it, as it is a joke compared to HFS, not to mention HFS is free, and you can't get better than that. I plan on donating very soon.
However here is my deal, and it is a minor one. I seem to be having upload problems to other people. It's not my connection I know for fact, nor is this an issue with me not knowing my internet speed and wondering why my upload is not as fast as my download. I know about asymmetric connections, aka normal residental ones. I did a search prior to posting this, and all I found were a bunch of ignorant people wondering why they could download at so and so speed, but not upload at the same speed, when the answer is your connection is normal. I have also read over the documentation, and the FAQs.
In fact here:
Yeah, max I get is about 2MB/sec on downloads, and max I can upload at is about 250-260KB/sec. That's normal. That's what my connection is rated at, and I get that kind of upload on any file sharing site I have ever used: MegaUpload, Easy-Share, YouTube, torrents, RapidShare, Sendspace, etc. as well as FTPs. I have also previously had another HTTP server via website and I was able to send out full speed there as well.
So, yeah I should be getting about that on HFS, right?
That's the problem. I have no limits in place, everything is unrestricted, doesn't matter if my virus scanner is on or off, doesn't matter if my firewall is up on any of my devices; the absolute max I send out at any point in time, with people downloading files from my HFS server is about half of my normal uploading speed, about 125kb/sec.
The self test passes flying colors as well, absolutely no issues, and my port that I have HFS set to is completely fine.
I have no issues with people uploading to me, in fact I have a friend that can send files to me via my HFS server, and I get full upload bandwidth from him.
I'm completely stumped on this one, and while it's not a huge deal, it's kinda bugging me as to what's limiting my uploads on this one. Anyone that can help or has an explanation that I am possibly not seeing here, I would extremely appreciate it and thank you in advance.
