    FTP - Upload Fast / Download Slow

    Afternoon! Ok the setup...

    Win98 Client - Various FTP CLients
    56k Dialup FreeUK
    Internet
    Aramiska Satellite Modem (port forwarding for FTP)
    LAN
    SME 6.03b - ProFTPd

    Right, when I upload to the SME server (via the port forwarding), I get a good speed of ~5.5kb/s.

    When I try to download from the SME Server, I get a crappy rate of ~0.5kb/s

    Nothing else is going on connection wise while I attempted the above.

    Any idea why its so slow?

    Ta!

    You tested the speed on any other FTP servers?
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Ta for reply.

    Yup, ~6kb/s upload ~6kb/s download.

    So I think its safe to say its not the Client or its dialup connection.

    Its either the satellite connection, the port forwarding, or the SME FTP server. I know satellite transfer can be a bit dodgy when lots of handshaking is needed (what with the lag), but FTP is a very simple connection...
