Re: Why WLAN and USB speed is so slow? (test)
 

Hi, Vicki, yes, on Linux everything is ok, 400 Mb movie copies via USB in about 5 minutes.
Seems most ITT users prefer Linux.

Re: Why WLAN and USB speed is so slow? (test)
 

Linux is indeed faster. But I have a kernel on my N800 enabling 48Hz mode for memory cards & DMA disabled (which is said to be buggy and slows things down). I also disable the cpu_scaling.

I believe it has to do with how the OS handles file transfers. For example, transfering anything from my Vista laptop (pre SP1, haven't installed it yet..waiting a month) is slow. Even regular file operations from one folder to another folder.

XP is faster, and Ubuntu is the fastest. Apparantly SP1 fixes it.

No idea why other devices aren't effected though (for me it's an all effect.. external HDDs, flash, etc..)

I did another test transferring a 300MB file over Wifi but this time using a linksys router with the dd-wrt firmware and was able to get 6MB/s :) Linux makes everything better!

Thanks a lot! I am installing Arch Linux....

Re: Why WLAN and USB speed is so slow? (test)
 

I am also having the transfer problems transferring from my xp system via usb.

So, from what I understood from the earlier posts, this is not a unique problem. Does this mean that everyone running XP are getting less than 1mb per second?

Is there really no fix?

On my N770 I have 170 kb/sec (via USB) with bundled noname 64 Mb card and 88 kb/sec with Kingston 2 Gb. http://s13.rimg.info/0e2284c0baf40dd...938509ba02.gif
