do i need to buy this or something ? is it a shareware bandwidth limited version or something ? 41kb/sec is my max speed on 100mb LAN, i know there is already a thread regarding performance which has NIL real answers and is useless as no one wants to hear about bytes and bits and how they differ when there is an obvious and huge performance difference between the old software be it red kawa or any ftp/http server for that matter and the performance of HFS......   my question is this.... can HFS work to the potential (as proven by other servers) of a connections capacity or is it just for narrow band servers ?
HFS is very easy to use, seems to make connection no problem, goes straight out of the box but is just way to slow on thruput to be of any use..........

Must be you,

im able to get atleast 8 - 9 megabytes per second on my LAN here.

and im able to send the full 180 kilobytes i have available for upload to my friends.

I get over LAN to a slow PIII  continuous 6..7,5 MBytes/sec (slows down at intervals to 3 MB/s, normaly 9MB/s,  because of memory swapping!)

Upload to WAN is limited to poor 34 kBytes/sec by provider.

So problem seem's not to be HFS (2.3 build 185).

Antivirus programs/firewalls/NAT tend to slow down traffic, extremely in some cases.

     Nope its not me, other server packages (xampp & serveU ftp to name only two) on same pc perform at typical LAN speeds across the LAN however HFS did not....
     I have got mine sorted for good LAN performance now and am helping others ATM to hopefully get theirs sorted if they are suffering the same issues, as they got the same useless answers just like the couple above, thanks indeed fellas (with the exception of MarkV who had the only useful response), no one wants to hear bits and bytes, and it must be you cause mine works fine..... there is an issue, i think i have identified it, I will post again here if this proves to be fact.
     So in future try not to be so quick with the useless answers fella's if you know nothing other than yours works don't post as you are only driving people away from what i believe to be a great piece of software.

     BTW absolutely brilliant software now that i can use it on LAN at LAN speeds instead of on LAN at WAN speeds..........big hint there, lol, will be contributing via paypal as this software works fine (well done rejetto !) and it suits my needs, however its forum fails it badly, lucky i know a little something about something and sorted my thruput issues across LAN with HFS myself.

     Cheers....

Been running hfs for 2 weeks on Xpsp3 c2d networked gigabyte lan ,and am VERY impressed ...50+m/b sec!! I switched from Networkactiv server
and love the configuration abilities of HFS (especially Template) use as multi room home theater server.. dont even have to stream
files.. 1gb file in 14 sec. my god ! thank you for very good stable software.. keep up the good work.by the way no speed issues

PIC16C54 that tread you read was nihilum, check out the 2999 others

lol, sorry i have no idea what this above means....

  Those still suffering from speed problems on LAN with HFS should take a GOOD look at the CLIENT PC's default TCP Receive window thats being used to access the HFS server, THATS RIGHT YOUR CLIENT or try a different PC as the client to verify HFS is in fact working OK on the server.
 
  I was stuck at 41k to server and 100k from server across LAN due to the CLIENT PC's TCP receive window being to small as it had been optimized for gaming/low latency (which is a small TCP window, for small amounts of data at low latency) to small for HFS to push lots of data through it.
 
  I have run, and do run many server packages on my server machine and have never had this LAN speed problem before, it was like it was actively choked by some kind of speed limiter, however a healthy TCP receive window setting on the client pc (also my gaming machine) sorted my thruput problems with HFS and I am now happily updating HFS server at LAN speeds across the LAN.

  I use TCP optimizer from  http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php for the manipulation of my connection on client pc as its easier and safer than stuffing with your windows registry manually....

  HFS is a top class, easy to use and feature packed file server.......well done Rejetto !

 :) PIC16C54 is a programmable integrated circut, just like us  ;)
Thanks for clearing out that speed issue, that made sense to me..
Ive been looking for a prog that could set priority to different connections/programs (porttrigger`d maybe)

Meaning: If HFS get connections, my Azureus wil get lower % of my badwith as long as HFS is in use
And if i recive a skypecall, skype will have the 1.priority of bits and bytes consumed.

A TPC optimizer sounds like a prog that could do the job, thx again, ill check it out some day..
