Hi,
I have to complain, that my upload-speed (=download-speed for myself as external) is too fast. ;)
My DSL-Connection allows about 2000 KBit/s download and about 370 KBit/s upload.
So naturally if someone in the internet downloads a file from my HFS there is a maximum speed of about 40 KB/s, limited because of my low upload-speed.
But if I test my connection myself and download a file from my HFS (Internet, not localhost) I get exactly the double-speed of about 80 KB/s.
I am behind a router. The router ist my gateway and my DNS-Server.
Does anyone have an explanation, why the speed is so high? What is different to the access from an external client?
Greetings

use a speed monitor (there are freeware ones out there) and see if HFS is lying or not

HFS is not lying.

it sounds like a slogan :D

when you say internet, not localhost. what do you mean exactly, are you just using an external address? If so it is likely that your router/modem isn't uploading anything but instead sending it straight back to you when it detects that it has to send the data to itself.

Yes. That's exactly what I mean. I am using my dyndns-domain.

In that direction I am thinking too. But that brings up another question: Why is it so slow. ;-)
Why the hell is the router lmiting the transfer speed to nearly exactly the double DSL-Upload-Speed?
The LAN is 100 MBit/s und the switch in the router too. Any other local network traffic passing the switch of the router is working with full speed.
The router is a Zyxel with a builtin DSL-Modem.
I made another test with Filezilla as FTP-Server again with my external adress. The speed with FTP ist about 20 % faster but there is still a peculiar limit (about 98 KB/s instead of about 80 KB/s with HFS).
