problem with the speed of HSF on wired gigabit network

[john9999]

hello

I'm on a local wired gigabit network and trying to transfer files between two computers and the transfer is stuck at bwteen 10 ~ 12MB sec.
but if i stress the network using a network stress utility, i get 44MB / sec on a realtek giganic which is not bad at all.
now.. why your HFS program limiting the speed to 12MB max?

What version of HFS are you using.  If it is v2.2f, try the latest beta -> http://www.dovedove.it/hfs/hfs246.exe

tested the latest HFS beta version and the same problem but if i try FTP server and FTP client i get the full speed from my gigabit network
is there something i have to do to fix this problem?

Welcome john9999!

Try testing by disabling this option:

Menu > Debug > Experimental high speed handling

HFS is not highly optimized, it may truly be what it can do with your CPU.
you can check if the CPU is 100% while it does. (or 50% for dual core)

hello rejetto

thanks for the wonderful program. i'm not really complaining about the CPU load in here.. i have quad core and dual core CPUs.
the problem is the slow speed on a gigabit LAN.. nothing els.

i hope in teh future you can fix this problem
thanks again

i got what he means , He have lots of speed , like 44 MB/sec  but when he use HFS he just get 12 MB/sec  , so he is asking that why HFS is not giving  full speed to him

Thats all , ya i faced this problem to , at ma old gigabit server , but i recommend you to use filezilla ftp server and client , i hope this helps you

HFS is small handy utility , it cant handle lots of request at same time , i guess not more than 10 users at same time , if they are using IDM or any other download accelerators ,with lots of ports and requests from same person , if 1 person make 10 request then 10 ppl make 100 request at 100 ports , i m not sure about it but i feels HFS cant handle too much connections at high speed and high load of users


i still like it cuz its tooooooooooo handy , no configurations at all , ready to use

i was clearly not clear
i perfectly understood his problem, and although it may sound odd, it is probably related to the CPU load.
If HFS is "wasting" CPU, and uses 100% of the core/cpu when giving 12MB/s, then it cannot go faster, because it would require more cpu power than available.
HFS will use only one core, no matter if your CPU is multi-core.

This is just a guess, that's why i asked him to check his cpu load when the speed is not as high as expected.

hi again

yes it's the way HFS runs on my PC making the transfer speed very low.. i hope in the future you can fix this problem because your program is so easy to use and i don't need to install a special program on the other PCs to be able to access my files.. like if i use a FTP server i'll have to install a FTP client on each PC to be able to access my files and that's not acceptable.

anway.. i don't have the right to complain because HSF is free.

bye

I too have this issue, but I instead map a network drive to my HFS's share and manage files that way.
The problem can be alleviated by setting HFS to "Above normal" priority in the task manager. Careful, if you're running anything else on your computer, HFS may take all the CPU cycles! This is why Dual core even with a single threaded program such as HFS can help.
Don't set the priority to "high" it will just cause problems.
Thanks for listening
Steve

thank you steve.
please john9999, can you state clearly if you saw your CPU with 100% used while you had the speed problem?
