HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Speed problems still not solved (2.2f speed version)

« on: January 20, 2012, 01:34:03 PM »

Great! With the latest version (2.3) i get the same LAN speed with HTTP (HFS) FTP and SMB, this problem is fixed!
But, the "sawtooth" upload speed is not yet solved :/
Seems like a problem with my line or DSL modem.. or my ISP is limiting my upload speed by 'cutting' in the signal.

Edit:
Wait wait, the speed problem of HFS is not solved. The CPU usage of hfs237.exe is 100% and this is limiting the speed.
With HFS, i can download over a wired LAN network at 2,3MB/s (than HFS is hanging at 100% cpu usage).
With a normal FTP transfer over the same LAN i get a maximum of 9MB/s.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Speed problems still not solved (2.2f speed version)

« on: January 11, 2012, 12:33:06 PM »

Seems like the speed problem is still not solved, i tried 2.2f (latest stable build), 2.2f speed version and 2.3 (latest bèta).
None of this is working is it should be, they are all behaving strange when transfering files.
Here is a screenshot of 2.2f speed version
( i Have a dedicated 450KB/s VDSL2 line with PPPoE connection )
This is a transfer to a turboupload.com server (throughput > 1MB/s)



Any news on this problem?
People from the same country (Belgium) can download faster (but still limited by the bug) then for example people in the US.
Something to do with latency or hop count?

Update
With the normal 2.2 version, the speed is very limited but stable (on LAN and on WAN connections)
+- stable 40% of max possible speed.

With 2.2 speed edition, the speed is less limited but very unstable.
+- variable speed between 5% and 70% of max possible speed.

hfs IS the problem.
The problem is less clear on LAN connections but the HFS (http) speed is still slower than for example an FTP transfer over your LAN.
In my case: The same file, transfered with HFS: 2,23MB/s, transfered with Filezilla: 2,7MB/s
On a WAN connection, the situation is much worse.
I have an upload limit of 450KB/s but my upload speed with a single file transfer with HFS varies between 15KB/s and 200KB/s !!!!

Screenshot of a transfer on a dedicated 450KB/s upload line:

For me, my internet connection is what limits my bandwidth.

When transferring over my 100Mb/s LAN, I typically get speeds in excess of 5 MB/s with one connection, upload and download.  That's plenty.

For me, the real speed is problem is when generating very large pages.  For example, building a page of 242 mp3 files (that's 23,000 HTML lines based on my template  ) takes HFS around 2.8 seconds.  This number increases dramatically based on the number of conditionals in the [file] section.  This is on a Core i7 system.  Again, that's not too slow considering my internet speed, but other pages normally take less than 0.1 seconds to generate.

We are talking about upload on an internet connection, read the topic before answering with useless facts. Off course your LAN speed is that high. The speed problem only happens on internet connections. It has probably something to do with latency and the amount of hops in the route between HFS server and downloader. The speed version speed is a bit better but the speed is not stable, it's climbing up until max upload and falling back every 15 seconds, then climbing up back..
